Hi Stefan,

I do understand that the WSM f_gridMetMM provides the tighter of the two.

but aren't the sensor descriptions with freq_number set depending on
metmm_accuracy levels tailor-made with respect to speed and a threshold
accuracy? why would we prepare them first to then overwrite them (e.g.
slowing down the "very very fast" setup significantly at least for
ICI/ISMAR, and occasionally forcing the f_grid to contain more points than
necessary for the intended and documented accuracy threshold)? does not
really make sense to me.

i assumed metmm_accuracy=0 should ALWAYS setup a f_grid with exactly one
grid point per passband. the user can still overwrite this of course by
(re-)setting either of freq_number and freq_spacing. but here, we provide a
setting that overwrites itself. as written, seems odd to me.

couldn't find this behaviour in documentation neither. the amsu-metmm
report says "The first configuration selects 1 frequency in the middle of
every channel. The second, third and fourth configuration select different
numbers of frequencies for every channel." and doesn't ever mention spacing.

but if you're sure that's what you want, i stop complaining ;-)
wishes,
Jana
