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 final version for Phase 2 OT1 Call was made (HSpot v5.3.2). 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-1515] Case-sensitive test for Frame parameter prevents old AORs from loading.

    Effect: When defining an AOR HIFI requires you to define a system of reference as "LSR", "Heliocentric", or "Geocentric". In old AORs these values are stored as lower case. HSpot's case sensitive reference frame test (introduced to ensure that this parameter had been updated correctly for new observations) was stopping some observers from reading back in their own AORs.

  • [PHS-1637] Improper treatment of velocity shifts to an existing frequency setting.

    Effect: There was a problem when adding a red shift to an observation that was defined with a set Local Oscillator frequency.

  • [PHS-1611] Dynamically add line tick on frequency editor when frequency is chosen by manual entry.

    Effect: A minor update to the frequency editor graphics as an aid when preparing AORs.
