\subsection{Schedule Generation Procedure}  The VLASS Pilot SB will be scheduled by generating a pair of text files containing the Scheduling Block and Source Catalog, which will be read into the OPT and submitted to the queue for observation. The procedure work-through is described in detail in an accompanying Authorea document: https://www.authorea.com/users/92338/articles/113729/ .  A brief summary of the current procedure is: \begin{itemize}  \item Determine the tile name, boundaries, and calibrator sources for manual input (in the future, this will be automatic from a database)  \item Use OTF_scans_from_tile.py to create a source definition file and a scan definition file. Manually add a header with the list of calibrators and a guess for the initial LST range.
