Observing schedule configuration file: observing_schedule.json

This JSON file contains a list of instances of scheduling block types to execute. Each item in the list must match a key in the scheduling_block_types.json file (see scheduling block types configuration).

You can find example files in the repository in /data/schedules/.

The simulation assembles an observing schedule using the information in the configuration files. Multiple instances of the same scheduling block type will be connected together to form a single scheduling block using the integration_time_hours and scheduling_block_instance_time_hrs parameter values given in the scheduling block types configuration.

Note

If you want to simulate gaps in the timeline or you want to change the integration time of a specific scheduling block instance, you must add a new scheduling block type.
