Individual tasks can be specified or the entire suite of tests can be performed. Adverbs: PRTASK.....Select specific tasks to be tested. A list of available tests is given below. Alternatively 'ALL' will run all available tests. Default: ' ' => 'ALL' OPTYPE.....Test subtype for the specified tasks. May be set to 'ALL' to run all available tests for that task. The subtypes are included in the list of available tests below. Default: ' ' => 'ALL' OUTFILE....Output text file for test results. If it already exists then new results will be appended. TDISK......Disk to be used for intermediate files. VLBDDT creates all test datasets required during execution and deletes them after use. VERSION....Version from which to run all tasks being tested (e.g. NEW or TST or local directory). DTSIM and DTCHK are run from TST always. Available tests =============== Task Subtype Description (PRTASK) (OPTYPE) CALIB '1' Basic test of phase self-cal; SOLMODE 'P' '2' Basic test of A&P self-cal; SOLMODE 'A&P' BPASS '1' Basic test of BPASS for non-VLBA data; full Stokes; 128 channels. '2' Basic test of BPASS for VLBA data; full Stokes; 128 channels. BP Test BP correction modes (all DOBAND=1,7) '1' non-VLBA; std; AC '2' non-VLBA; std; XC '3' non-VLBA; poly; AC '4' non-VLBA; poly; XC '5' VLBA; std; AC '6' VLBA; std; XC '7' VLBA; poly; AC '8' VLBA; poly; XC FRING '1' Basic fringe-fit test: no model; delay and phase errors; no noise. BLING '1' Basic fringe-fit test; no model; delay and phase errors; no noise. DOPOL Test polarization correction modes: '1' DOPOL = 1; linear polarization model. '2' DOPOL = 2; 2nd-order polzn. model. '3' DOPOL = 3; 2nd-order polzn. model. ALL 'ALL' Perform all available tests. ---------------------------------------------------------------
