START

    START

    Start an observation, i.e., translate its specification to XML
    and submit it to the observing queue.

    Observing jobs are sent to the observing queue only if the observer has
    SET DOSUBMIT YES
    in paKo (see command SET DOSUBMIT) and if the operator has selected
    the current project to be the "current observing queue".

    IMPORTANT NOTE: to avoid any possible confusion, in each project
    account at the 30-m telescope, only 1 running instance of Pako should
    have SET DOSUBMIT YES!

    Example:

    SOURCE ...
    OTFMAP ...
    START              ! will start and OTF map
