Chapter 5. HIFI-related HSpot updates:

Table of Contents

5.1. Most recent changes

This section describes the main updates to HSpot that have been made, which are relevant to HIFI users, implemented since the release of the updated version for the OT1 Call was made (HSpot v5.1). HIFI users are strongly recommended to read this document in conjunction with the HIFI Observers' Manual and the HSpot Users' Guide.

5.1. Most recent changes

  • [PHS-1512] Default HSpot line tables contain many incorrect LSR frequencies/wavelengths.

    Effect: The patching of this bug has obvious benefits to anyone using the default line lists.

  • [PHS-1549] Wrong band edges in band 1a when default GUI open in HIFI point or mapping AOTs.

    Effect: There was a problem when using the default settings without editing them.

  • [PHS-1528] Remove pop up window asking whether LO frequency should be changed or not.

    Effect: The redshift correction is now applied automatically to ensure correct centring and thus to stop lines falling out of the window when an LO change is made.

  • [PHS-1534] Re-enable HIFI DBS-X mode.

    Effect: This mode was temporarily disabled while it was undergoing an extensive re-design. It is now available again.

  • [PHS-1524] Target LSR vs SSB velocity not correctly taken into account in some cases.

    Effect: In some cases the reshift needed to correct the wavelength to the Local System of Rest was read as zero even when correctly defined in the target list.

  • [PHS-1362] Spectral Survey Message

    Effect: The message that sometimes appeared when selecting a Spectral Survey AOR, advising erroneously that only the WBS is used in this mode has been removed.
