\subsection{Correlator Setup}  We will use the WIDAR correlator in the wideband mode (2MHz channels) with a total of 2048MHz of bandwidth. The default setup has a 24MHz overlap of the two basebands at band center, but for the VLASS we will place the basebands adjacent covering 1976--4024 MHz. This will place the sub-bands on a regular grid for the coarse spectral cubes, and give a wider frequency range for spectral and RM studies (the S-band has a 3db range of 1850--4150 MHz). We will record in full polarization mode.  We will employ a dump time of 0.45 seconds, which gives a nominal data rate (in the RCT page) of 26.32MB/s or 25MB/s using the equation in the OSS.
