4.4 Related Programs
This section briefly describes other programs that may be of use when using SCHED. The descriptions
of SKEDCONV, PC-SCHED, and UPTIME have been removed as they are no longer in use. That
leaves only the geodetic scheduling program SKED which is still the primary tool for scheduling
geodetic project.

SKED
-
Originally
the
scheduling
program
for
Mark
III,
SKED
is
now
the
standard
program
for
scheduling
geodetic
VLBI
observations.
It
produces
SKED
or
drg
files
that
are
converted
to
snap
files
by
DRUDG.
It
also
produces
VLBA
control
files
for
geodetic
projects.
It
has
sophisticated
automatic
scheduling
capabilities,
well
beyond
what
is
available
in
the
optimization
modes
of
SCHED,
for
geodetic
projects.
Contact
the
GSFC
VLBI
group
for
more
information.
