Advanced Parameters

The Advanced Parameters panel allows the specification of ad hoc parameters (“expert” parameters) that will be passed to the Science Observing Scripts (SOS). The ability to create keyword-value pairs on the fly allows SOS to test new functionality, although some values are set automatically during SB generation. This should be a short-term measure only - each parameter should eventually have its own entry in the APDM i.e. become a “proper” field in the OT. The keyword-value pairs must exactly match what is expected by the script, although they are now case-independent. This panel is only shown to users who can and have enabled advanced privileges.
