LOAD
OBS\LOAD [/AZIMUTH Dir] [/FREQUENCY]
Loads observing parameters. This command sends source position,
frequency information, and a number of other things to the telescope
control program, but data acquisition is not started. A LOAD is
implicitly done by all acquisition commands.
The Option /AZIMUTH can be used to force antenna to chose a slew
direction; Dir can be +AZ or -AZ. A LOAD command is necessary before
receiver tuning. The Option /FREQUENCY will only send the frequency
with Doppler corection for the new source, but without antenna movement.
