Can I make a single dish observation?

Authors list

Single-dish observing modes are available for using the Total Power (TP) Array as part of the ALMA Compact Array (ACA). The use of the TP Array is limited to spectral line observations in Bands 3–8. No TP Array Band 9 and Band 10 observations are offered. However, the single dish capabilities afforded with the TP Array can only be used in conjunction with the 7-m Array and not as a stand-alone capability. Please refer to Appendix section "Total Power Array" of the ALMA Proposer's Guide for details.
