Experiments
===========

This is where you would create your experiment that you would like to run on the
radar. The following are a couple of examples of current SuperDARN experiments.

normalscan
----------

Normalscan is a very common experiment for SuperDARN. It only has a single slice, as there is only one
frequency, pulse_len, beam_order, etc. Since there is only one slice there is no need
for an interface dictionary.

    :linenos:
    :language: python

twofsound
---------

Twofsound is a common variant of the normalscan experiment for SuperDARN. It has two frequencies so will
require two slices. The frequencies switch after a full scan (full cycle through the
beams), therefore the interfacing between slices 0 and 1 should be 'SCAN'.

full_fov
--------

See :ref:`Full FOV Imaging<full fov imaging>` for more information.

bistatic_test

See :ref:`Bistatic Experiments<bistatic experiments>` for more information.
