Description
This tool is intended to be run by the GBT operators during normal operation of the telescope. Several MeasurementSets will typically be filled at the same time (one for each backend in use by each project during an observing session). The filling process is driven by the ScanLog.fits file for each project. This tool is under development and the exact operational details have not yet been finalized. It is anticipated that most interations with this tool will be done through its GUI.
