To use IRAC, observers must fill out the IRAC Astronomical Observation
Template (AOT). A filled-out AOT constitutes an Astronomical Observation
Request (AOR), and is pretty much what gets sent to the spacecraft; when
you fill it out, you are essentially creating commands for the
spacecraft.
The IRAC AOT consists of an (optional) dither pattern superposed on an
(optional) rectangular-grid raster.
In this
section, we describe the manner in which an IRAC AOR is specified by an
observer, and the activities that the spacecraft will perform when the
specified
AOR is executed. The Figure below shows an example of an IRAC AOT dialog box in
Spot.
