# Observing procedure

The procedure `FLUX` (corresponding to the project `FLUX`) is similar to `BASE` or `POINT` and runs under the OBS program. This procedure makes flux measurements in single-dish, multi-dish or interferometric mode. For commodity and a better calibration accuracy, it uses only the two following frequencies: SiOv1 at 86 GHz and 13CO(2-1) at 210 GHz. A third option allows using the current frequency tuning for only SMALL ``holes'' between two projects.

To start it, just type `@ PR:FLUX` then answer the questions about frequency choice, observing mode and so on...
