## Independence of Command Parameters

The parameters of each observing mode are independent from the parameters of other observing modes. The same is true fop the different switching modes. For example, if you first enter at the prompt PAKO > :

    OTFMAP /NOTF 12

and later:

    POINTING /NOTF 4

the number of OTF subscans for OTFMAP is still at 12, as you can see with:

    OTFMAP

Some options exist for several observing modes. E.g., options /NOTF, and /TOTF exist for POINTING and OTFMAP. The syntax, parameters and meaning of these options is then (almost) the same for all observing modes.
