 +====== Mapping =======
  
 +Heterodyne mapping is done by offset pointing the telescope. Especially for larger maps, [[otfmap]] is more efficient for larger maps because a common reference position is used for all the cells in each row. 
 +
 +==== UIP commands ====
 +
 +  - Point by point mapping using position switching with a specified reference position. This example uses looping commands to make a 3 x 3 map in equatorial coordinates with 15 arcsec spacing. \\ ''​__uip__>​ ** for i 1 to 3 ** ''​ \\ ''​__uip__>​ ** \_ rao /map (i-2)*15 ** ''​ \\ ''​__uip__>​ ** \_ for j 1 to 3 ** ''​ \\ ''​__uip__>​ ** \_\_ deco /map (j-2)*15 ** ''​ \\ ''​__uip__>​ ** \_\_ oo_scan //N// /​designated_off **''​ \\ ''​__uip__>​ ** \_ next ** ''​ \\ ''​__uip__>​ ** next ** ''​
 +    * At each map position, the telescope will move asymmetrically \\ ''​OFF ON''​
 +    * //N// is the number of repetitions of this pattern. ​
 +    * The reference position must be specified in the source [[cso:​telescope:​uip:​catalog|catalog]] as //​target//:​off_position.
 +  - Same example but without the looping commands. \\ ''​__uip__>​ ** rao /map -15 ** ''​ \\ ''​__uip__>​ ** deco /map -15 ** ''​ \\ ''​__uip__>​ ** oo_scan //N// /​designated_off **''​ \\ ''​__uip__>​ ** deco /map 0 ** ''​ \\ ''​__uip__>​ ** oo_scan //N// /​designated_off **''​ \\ ''​__uip__>​ ** deco /map +15 ** ''​ \\ ''​__uip__>​ ** oo_scan //N// /​designated_off **''​ \\ etc.
