• 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.

• 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:
