Abstract:

This memo describes the equations used in the IRAM-30m HERA time/sensitivity estimator available on the IRAM-30m web page. A large part of the memo aims at describing the peculiarities of time/sensitivity estimation of the On-The-Fly observing mode with a multi-pixel like HERA. It explains how to generalize the equations of the single pixel case, so that the same code can be used in both cases (single and multi-pixel).
