Ka-band Observing

This is intended for VLA observers using Ka-band (8-9mm, 26.5-40 GHz). Since this is a completely new band, and not just an upgrade of an existing band, typical VLA observation preparation software such as JObserve cannot be used to create observing files for this band.

Instead, the new EVLA Observation Preparation Tool (OPT) needs to be used. Instead of creating VLA-specific observing files it creates scripts, which are used by the Executor controlling the EVLA.

For further details on this new tool, we suggest you start with the OPT page.
