... The bandpass in which the measurement is made must be identified. The bandpass name is recorded in a column labelled BAND. This name, combined with the information in the instrument file, is used to identify the detector in multichannel instruments.)

... This table shows how each STEP-PATT pattern measures the background for a science exposure. Listed are the STEP-PATT number, the number of spectrum bins for which substepping occurs, the number of background bins measured, the diodes used to measure the background, the fraction of the total time spent measuring flux on the science diodes, the gratings for which the STEP-PATT is appropriate, and the shortest exposure that can be used for that pattern. ...

. To append the standard output from a command to a file use two >> (greater than) symbols followed by the name of the file. If the file does not exist it is created. For example: cat part1 > chapt2 cat part2 >> chapt2 . This creates a file called chapt2 with the same contents as part1 . It then reads the contents of part2 and appends them to the file chapt2 . The file chapt2 now contains the data from part1 followed by the data from part2 .

... The standard lbn cal diode was compared to the standard diode. Using the standard diode value and the insertion loss the lbn cal value was computed every 25 MHz from 1200 MHz to 1600 Mhz. ... After the measurement, the insertion loss from the standard diode to the output of the coupler was measured over the frequency range 1200 to 1400 Mhz. ... The major uncertainty in the measurement is in the standard diode ENR and the insertion loss of the waveguide transition. ... freq [Mhz] . ...
