VLAPROCS uses no adverbs. To use these procedures type 'RUN VLAPROCS'. ---------------------------------------------------------------- VLAPROCS Type: Run file Use: VLAPROCS defines a number of procedures that can be used in the reduction of VLA data. See the individual HELP files for full details. To use these procedures type 'RUN VLAPROCS'. The following procedures are generally useful: DAYNUM - returns the day number when given a date e.g., > type daynum('20061230') AIPS 3: 364 The following procedures automate some aspects of VLA data reduction: VLACALIB - runs CALIB and LISTR for calibration VLACLCAL - runs CLCAL and LISTR for calibration VLARESET - deletes calibration tables VLASUMM - prints antenna and scan information for experiment VLATECR - calibrates Faraday rotation (downloads external files) The following procedures are mostly useful for writing run files or POPS procedures: RUNWAIT - run a task and wait for it to finish MAXTAB - returns maximum version number for a given table type. ----------------------------------------------------------------
