Therefore the following criteria should be used for SRDP: (note: these are criteria for correlator tuning, not other criteria like which flux density calibrator was used)
- For C-band and higher, if the tuning includes 3-bit If total bandwidth =< 2GHz and C-band or above (i.e. purely 8-bit, not it's purely 3-bit or it's mixed 3-bit/8-bit) this indicates continuum science (or that it can be used for reliable continuum science) and it qualifies as SRDP.
- For C-band and higher, If total bandwidth is less than or approximately 2GHz (technically, 2.048GHz), i.e. it is a pure 8-bit observation, check the proposal abstract to see if the primary aim is includes continuum or spectral line (feel or both). If the abstract states that the science goals include continuum, then it is SRDP. If it includes continuum and specline, then it is still SRDP. If it includes specline but does not mention continuum, then it is non-SRDP. (Feel free to double-check with a Stage 2 Reviewer if unsure).
- Currently L-band and S-band are non-SRDP. If/when they are eventually added to SRDP, use the following criteria:
- for L-band: at least 1 GHz of total bandwidth, and no individual basebands < 500 MHz
- for S-band: at least 2 GHz of total bandwidth, and no individual basebands < 1000 MHz in L-band.
