BPARM Up to 5 sets of start and stop channel ranges to fit the polynomial. ---------------------------------------------------------------- BASRM Task: This task will copy a uv data set removing a spectral baseline from total power data along the way. Cross-power data are untouched by this operation. The user is able to fit and remove an nth order polynomial from line-free channels of the total power spectra. NOTE: this task does NOT apply flagging or calibration tables to the input UV data. Run SPLIT first if that operation is desired. Adverbs: INNAME.....Input UV file name (name). Standard defaults. INCLASS....Input UV file name (class). Standard defaults. INSEQ......Input UV file name (seq. #). 0 => highest. INDISK.....Disk drive # of input UV file. 0 => any. OUTNAME....Output UV file name (name). Standard defaults. OUTCLASS...Output UV file name (class). Standard defaults. OUTSEQ.....Output UV file name (seq. #). 0 => highest unique OUTDISK....Disk drive # of output UV file. 0 => highest w room 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. SELFREQ....Frequency of data to be selected. 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 overide that of FREQID. However, setting SELBAND and SELFREQ may result in an ambiguity. In that case, the task will request that you use FREQID. (.le. 0 => all). If you select data with the FREQ adverbs BASRM will renumber the FREQID in the output file to 1, i.e. you can set FREQID to the default value for all subsequent operations on the output file. APARM......(1) Order of the polynomial to be removed, 0=> constant offset only. (2) if > 0 replace the total power spectra in the output file with the polynomial fitted to the line-free channels rather than just writing out the corrected spectra. (3) if > 0 will print fitted polynomial coefficients for each spectrum. BPARM......Up to 5 sets of start and stop channels numbers representing the channel ranges to be used in determining the polynomials. ---------------------------------------------------------------
