KI Possible Mode Reconfigurations During a Night

It is possible to use a maximum of two (2) different KI modes during a night, subject to the allowed combinations
specified in the table below. The table also gives conservative estimates for the reconfiguration times (which occurs
during your observing time). Please note that all modes which you intend to use must be specified in your proposal
to allow for adequate scheduling and instrument preparation.  Any requests made after the proposal is accepted will
only be supported if the team is able to change modes without adversely affecting other science users and such requests
must be made at least three (3) weeks before the allocated night.
