Observing Blocks

Development of the Observing Block (OB) Generator that will allow observers to define and upload observing block descriptions for later execution is making good progress. The main emphasis has been on developing the interface to define the OBs (with the specific requirements and limitations for each instrument and observing mode). In the near future the focus will move on to the software that will be responsible for the execution of the observing blocks. All the commands needed to execute the observations defined by an OB are already provided by the existing sequencer observing system.
