• The DynamicSnap.sh script operates by drudging a short-duration skd files and appending the snap commands to the end of the currently active schedule. To work, the active schedule needs to be prepared to reload itself, starting at a line number which corresponds to the beginning of the new data. On starting the dysched.pl script, a default ds.snp file is copied across to /usr2/sched/$sched$station.snp to serve as the template. This script includes some basic commands to load the dynamic scheduling procedure library and configure the rack and recorder. The text is included below. You need to prepare a default schedule called /usr2/sched/ds.snp similar to this one.

• The dynamic observing script uses a fixed configuration, defined by the ds.prc file. When the dysched.pl script is started, this file is copied to /usr2/proc/$sched$station.prc where $sched is the schedule name given to dysched.pl, and $station is the station name (as given to dysched.pl). For the AuScope stations, the chosen mode is the 1 Gbps mode that has been typically used for the AUSTRAL experiment series, and a copy is included below. Prepare your own file /usr2/proc/ds.prc to match the configuration of the experiment
