You may also wish to make a copy of the pos file, just in case (of future user error....). Next, start working on FLAGBB: Simple rules: 1. Pay close attention! It is IMPERATIVE that you do a good job. A bad job is worse than no job and will earn you snickers (and we don't mean the candy bar!). 2. Be sure to use the "t" option. And, be sure to "u" before "t" between individual strips. 3. Know how big to make your boxes; use the "m" key when you need to! 4. Know what is a continuum source; do not flag continuum sources. 5. Know what is galactic hydrogen; do not flag galactic hydrogen (or HVC's!). 6. Know when to set the status flag. 7. Save the pos file regularly; occasionally make a copy of it. -- restore,'pos_090112_+033900s.sav' -- restore,'d214400+294831.526180333.sav' -- flagbb,dred,cont_pt,mask,pos,GAUSAV=11,HAN=3,AGC=1,n1=0,n2=6 at end, save badboxes to file filename = bb then save pos file in case of crash save,pos,file='pos_090112_+033900s.sav' Thereafter, hit "o" to enter your own filefor BADBOX -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keep track of all the drift, give a quality and comment on AGC galaxies detected, others, or rfi problems.
