Example of an AOT SWS07 observation

   

An observer want to observe a line of strength 250 Jy at 40 m, reaching a S/N of 30 and covering 200 km/s. From figure gif we see that we reach a S/N of 10 on a 700 Jy source in 1200 seconds while scanning 50 km/s. Therefore to reach 250 Jy with 150 km/s will take seconds. This is over 10 hours so the observation cannot be planned. However, to scan 80 km/s to a S/N of 15 will take 34000 seconds. PGA reports this observation is feasible and will require 29000 seconds OTT.
