Block Schedule

TITLE 		Block Schedule
 
PURPOSE 	To schedule LPs using the block schedule

DESCRIPTION 	This observation program uses previously uploaded
                schedule parameters to schedule LPs.  The schedule
                block is a table of 500 rows where each row is a
                set of parameters for a LP including schedule type
                (iteration, cyclic, duration etc.) and the LP parameters
                (image processing, exposure time, filter wheel, polarizer
                 etc.)

LP Number 	24

INPUT PARAMETERS
		   Parameter	Description
			#

			1	Starting Row
			2	Ending Row

EXAMPLE 1
		   Parameter	Description
			#
                        1          0
                        2          0

                 This uses the contents of row 0 as schedule parameters.
                 
EXAMPLE 2
		   Parameter	Description
			#
                        1        100
                        2        102

                 This will schedule three LEB Programs (LP) using rows 100, 101 and 102

NOTES
                 The schedule block is uploaded via table uploads.  Each
                 row is uploaded in two parts, schedule parameters and
                 LP parameters.  Typically the Schedule Parameters will
		 be set to use a Delta Time or Iteration Count and the LP
		 will then schedule the observations with respect to 
		 current time or as a sequence when it is run.

                 Schedule Parameters ( 7 words )
                  Word 1     - type       (e.g. 1 = Schedule) 
                  Word 2     - LP number  (e.g. 9 = Take Normal)
                  Word 3     - LSW start time (f32)
                  Word 4     - MSW start time (c32)
                  Word 5     - exit type  (e.g. 2 = Iteration)
                  Word 6     - LSW end time (f32) or iteration count
                  Word 7     - MSW end time (c32)
                 
                 LP Parameters (1 + # of parameters required by chosen LP)
                  Word 1     - Number of Parameters
                  Word 2     - 1st LP Parameter
