TRACK

    TRACK xOffset yOffset

    specify tracking of a single position

    Real      :: xOffset           ! x-offset of "on-source" position
    Real      :: yOffset           ! y-offset of "on-source" position

    NOTES:
    TRACK is normally used for observations with frequency switching
    (SWFREQUENCY); also for some special observations, e.g., of pulsars.
    There is a built-in limit to the time per subscan, currently (2006-07)
    it is 3600 seconds (1 hour).  If for special purposes one needs to
    track a source for a longer time, this can easily be done by using
    several subscans.
