Set criteria for scheduling observations

Synopsis
setschedcriteria(hatozenith, hafromzenith, phasecutoff)

Description
Set criteria for scheduling observations. Currently, the algorithm used to schedule observations is quite brain-dead, taking sources within some hour angle range of transit, and picking the highest frequency observations that still have residual phase errors less than the cut-off value.

Arguments

hatozenith		Hour angle approaching zenith
		Allowed:	Quantity
		Default:	'2h'
hafromzenith		Hour angle passing zenith
		Allowed:	Quantity
		Default:	'1.5h'
phasecutoff		Maximum residual phase error permitted
		Allowed:	Quantity
		Default:	'30deg'

Returns
Bool

Example

mysched.setschedcriteria(hatozenith='1.0h', hafromzenith='1.0h', 
phasecutoff='20deg');
