            MIRA\SCAN scan [/TRACKING trackingError] [/COMPRESS integTim]
                        [/TAU tau1 [tau2 ...]] [/PWV h2omm]
                        [/SUBSCAN first last] [/BACKEND backend1 backend2 ...]
                        [/DROP ignoreBackend1 ignoreBackend2 ...]

        Loads a scan from the current index list. ALL frontend-backend combinations
        used are loaded. A list of identification numbers for the frontend-backend
        combinations is issued. For calibrations, MIRA\SCAN also computes the
        calibrations parameters, and writes them to the screen. The calibration
        parameters for VESPA basebands are individually computed; however, the
        screen output is for mean values across all basebands corresponding to one
        spectrum.

        NOTE: (1) MIRA\FIND is not anymore a prerequisite for command MIRA\SCAN (see
              for FIND).
              (2) After commands OVERRIDE (for calibrationts) or changing the value
              logical flag timingCheck the scan needs to be read again in order to v
              new settings.

        SCAN /TRACKING trackingError Backend dumps with azimuth- or elevation tracki
                                     errors larger than trackingError (in degree)
                                     are flagged (i.e. attributed the blanking value
                                     for raw data).

        SCAN /COMPRESS dumpTime      Allows to compress large data sets (e.g. with
                                     too short a dump time). If the new dump time
                                     is not an integer multiple of the uncompressed
                                     dump time, command SCAN rounds the compression
                                     factor to the next integer.

        SCAN /TAU tau1 tau2 ...      For calibration scans. Keeps the opacity fixed
                                     at values tau1 tau2 ... for frontend-backend
                                     numbers 1,2,..., and calculates the
                                     corresponding calibration.

        SCAN /PWV h2omm              For calibration scans. Keeps the atmospheric
                                     water vapour fixed at value h2omm and calculate
                                     the corresponding calibration for all connected
                                     frontend-backend units.
