The choice of the field pattern determines the name and the fields in the next panel in which the properties of the field pattern are defined. The available patterns are:
- Point - used for most interferometric observations i.e. where an antenna is stationary whilst integrating.
- Circle - not currently supported.
- Rectangle - defines an area which can be scanned by a telescope, usually a single dish. It can also be used to create a mosaic of single pointings.
- Spiral - not currently supported.
- Cross - allegedly supported.
