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.
