After all single-source files are added the multi-source file should then 1) be sorted to 'TB' order (UVSRT) and 2) an iNdeX and CaLibration table created using INDXR. NOTE: the geometry if the records in the two files (number of channels, polarizations etc.) MUST be identical; otherwise use DBCON. Adverbs: INNAME.....Input UV singlesource data file INCLASS....Input UV data file (class). Standard defaults. INSEQ......Input UV data file (seq. #). 0 => highest. INDISK.....Input UV data file disk drive #. 0 => any. SOURCES....Source to be copied. ' '=> all; if any starts with a '-' then all except ANY source named. QUAL.......Qualifier of source to be copied. -1 => all. CALCODE....Calibrator code of sources to copy. ' '=> all. STOKES.....Specifies which STOKES parameters are written in the output data set: ' ' => 'FULL' 'I','Q','U','V', 'IV', 'IQU', 'IQUV' 'RR','LL', 'RL', 'LR', 'RRLL', 'RLLR', 'RLRL' 'XX','YY', 'XY', 'YX', 'XXYY', 'XYYX', 'XYXY' 'HALF', 'CROS', and 'FULL' have sensible interpretations depending on the Stokes present in the data. The last in each of the 3 rows above == 'FULL'. Note that many combinations of polarizations in the input and values above are not supported. TIMERANG...Time range of the data to be copied. In order: Start day, hour, min. sec, end day, hour, min. sec. Days relative to ref. date. SELBAND....Bandwidth of data to be selected. If more than one IF is present SELBAND is the width of the first IF required. Units = kHz. For data which contain multiple bandwidths/frequencies the task will insist that some form of selection be made by frequency or bandwidth. SELFREQ....Frequency of data to be selected. If more than one IF is present SELFREQ is the frequency of the first IF required. Units = MHz. FREQID.....Frequency identifier to select (you may determine which is applicable from the OPTYPE='SCAN' listing produced by LISTR). If either SELBAND or SELFREQ are set, their values override that of FREQID. However, setting SELBAND and SELFREQ may result in an ambiguity. In that case, the task will request that you use FREQID. SUBARRAY...Sub-array number to copy. 0=>all. BIF........First IF to include. 0 -> 1. EIF........Last IF to include. 0 -> max. BCHAN......First channel to copy. 0=>all. ECHAN......Highest channel to copy. 0=>all higher than BCHAN DOCALIB....If true (>0), calibrate the data using information in the specified Cal (CL) table for multi-source or SN table for single-source data. Also calibrate the weights unless DOCALIB > 99 (use this for old non-physical weights). GAINUSE....version number of the CL table to apply to multi-source files or the SN table for single source files. 0 => highest. DOPOL......If > 0.5 then correct data for instrumental polarization as represented in the AN table. This correction is only useful if PCAL has been run or feed polarization parameters have been otherwise obtained. If DOPOL > 0.5, then you can do only one sub-array at a time. If you have more than one sub-array, it would be best to calibrate and SPLIT each separately and then DBCON them back together before IMAGRing. See HELP DOPOL for available correction modes. IMAGR uses DOPOL as the nearest integer; 0.1 is therefore "false". BLVER......Version number of the baseline based calibration (BL) table to apply. <0 => apply no BL table, 0 => highest. FLAGVER....specifies the version of the flagging table to be applied. 0 => highest numbered table. <0 => no flagging to be applied. DOBAND.....If true (>0) then correct the data for the shape of the antenna bandpasses using the BP table specified by BPVER. The correction has five modes: (a) if DOBAND=1 all entries for an antenna in the table are averaged together before correcting the data. (b) if DOBAND=2 the entry nearest in time (including solution weights) is used to correct the data. (c) if DOBAND=3 the table entries are interpolated in time (using solution weights) and the data are then corrected. (d) if DOBAND=4 the entry nearest in time (ignoring solution weights) is used to correct the data. (e) if DOBAND=5 the table entries are interpolated in time (ignoring solution weights) and the data are then corrected. IMAGR uses DOBAND as the nearest integer; 0.1 is therefore "false". BPVER......Specifies the version of the BP table to be applied 0 => highest numbered table. <0 => no bandpass correction to be applied. SMOOTH.....Specifies the type of spectral smoothing to be applied to a uv database . The default is not to apply any smoothing. The elements of SMOOTH are as follows: SMOOTH(1) = type of smoothing to apply: 0 => no smoothing To smooth before applying bandpass calibration 1 => Hanning, 2 => Gaussian, 3 => Boxcar, 4 => Sinc To smooth after applying bandpass calibration 5 => Hanning, 6 => Gaussian, 7 => Boxcar, 8 => Sinc SMOOTH(2) = the "diameter" of the function, i.e. width between first nulls of Hanning triangle and sinc function, FWHM of Gaussian, width of Boxcar. Defaults (if < 0.1) are 4, 2, 2 and 3 channels for SMOOTH(1) = 1 - 4 and 5 - 8, resp. SMOOTH(3) = the diameter over which the convolving function has value - in channels. Defaults: 1,3,1,4 times SMOOTH(2) used when input SMOOTH(3) < net SMOOTH(2). DOACOR.....> 0 => include autocorrelations as well as cross correlation data. OUTNAME....Output multisource UV data name. OUTCLASS...Output UV data class. OUTSEQ.....Output sequence number. OUTDISK....The disk drive # of output. 0 => highest CALSOUR....Name of source (16 char. max.) Default is to use source name in header or INNAME if that is blank. Only the first value is used. REFDATE....Reference date 'yyyymmdd' for the uv data set; used only if the output is to be created. ' ' => use reference date of input uv data file. The form 'dd/mm/yy' is accepted but deprectaed. If uv data to be added later will have an earlier reference date then REFDATE should be set to the earliest reference date of any of the flies to be glued together. (Task FXTIM can be used to rep[air things if you get them wrong.) DOUVCOMP...If DOUVCOMP is greater than zero then a newly created output file will be compressed. If you are appending to an existing multisource file then DOUVCOMP will be ignored and the file will retain its previous compression state. BADDISK....This array contains the numbers of disks on which it is desired that scratch files not be located. BADDISK has no effect on input and output data. ----------------------------------------------------------------
