UV_TRACKS SMA

            ---- Using UV_TRACKS with SMA configuration files ----

        UV_TRACKS  can be used to simulate SMA observations using SMA configura-
        tion files. The sequence should be:

        SIC LOG astro_stations sma-CONFIG.cfg
        UV_TRACKS all [...options...]

        The logical astro_stations must point to a configuration  file  of  SMA.
        Four configuration files are distributed with GILDAS:

        sma-sub.cfg: for sub compact configuration (note that in this configuration
                     the SMA cannot observe sources at elevations lower than 31.3deg
        sma-com.cfg: for compact configuration
        sma-ext.cfg: for extended configuration
        sma-vex.cfg: for extended configuration

        Then "uv_track all" means all stations in the chosen file will be used.

        A  catalog of all the SMA pads is also distributed with gildas. The pads
        are identified through their numbers (1 to 26, where 25 and 26 are  JCMT
        and  CSO positions). Any SMA configuration can be simulated with a typi-
        cal sequence of command:

        OBSERVATORY SMA
        SIC LOG astro_stations sma-stations.cfg
        UV_TRACKS 1 4 7 9 /FRAME [...]
