## Source and Line Catalogs

The format of the source catalog, e. g., iram.sou, is similar to source catalogs at PdB. A source catalog for the NCS can be generated from standard ``old'' 30m catalogs (*.cat) using ASTRO. The example source catalog, demo.sou, was generated from a historic version of IRAM.CAT using ASTRO.

The format of the line catalog, e. g., model.lin, is as in the old control system and at PdB.

NOTES. In source names, line names, and parameters of type character, like Project ID, names of PI, observer, operator, one can not use characters that have a special meaning in XML, in particular don't use: & or ; also don't use: ( or ) in source names.
