+// This list contains the schedule for one or several nights.
+// The schedule consists of observations and measurements.
+// An observation is compiled by several measurements.
+// Most measurements (like RATESCAN) cannot be interrupted, but
+// will be finished at some point (like a single run).
+// A measurement which takes until the next observation is started is DATA.
+// Whenever a measurement is finished and the start time of a new
+// observation has passed, the new observation is started.
+// In an observation it makes only sense that the last measurment
+// is data. All previous measurement just take as much time as they take.
+// Note that after each measurement, a new observation might be started
+// if the start time of the new observation has passed. Thus there is,
+// strictly speaking, no gurantee that any other than the first measurement
+// of one observation will ever be excuted.
+// A list of observations must end with a shutdown.
+//
+// here is an example:
+//
+var observations =
+[
+ { date:"2013-03-14 19:55 UTC", measurements:
+     [
+      { task:'startup' }

-// This list of objects is currently used by Main.js
-// to build up the nightly schedule for FACT.
-//
-// one can define some 'tasks' like: "STARTUP", "SHUTDOWN", "RATESCAN" and "DATA"
-// for the latter two, one should define a 'source' parameter as well.
-// This must be a string which is contained in FACTs list of sources.
-// The Ratescan can as well get ra and dec coordinates
-// In case one does not specify a task "DATA" is assumed.
-// example:
-/*
