It is purely a format transfer task, just producing an AIPS PC table which is a copy of the data in the ascii file. Phase cal data from VLBA antennas is included in FITS files from the VLBA correlator from April 1 1999 onwards. 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.

SUBARRAY...Subarray number 0 => 1 FQTOL......Freq. tol. in IF match (KHz) <=0 => 0.1*WBAND works in majority cases OUTVER.....Desired output PC table. 0 means create a new PC table under following number.

Kemball NRAO/AOC COMMENTS Phase calibration information for VLBA antennas is included in FITS files from the VLBA correlator from April 1 1999 onwards. PCLOD need only be run to load amplitude calibration data that was not transferred automatically. CALIN: PCLOD requires an ASCII file containing the VLBA pulse calibration data. This file has the format given below and can be obtained from the VLBA correlator (the VLBA technical contact person assigned to the project can provide information in this regard). The are two type of "groups" in the PCLOD ascii file. A FREQUENC group that describes the frequency structure of the table and a PULSE group that contains the data. The format of a file is shown below: FREQUENC SC / ! Tone Chan SB Pol ToneSkyFreq #bits LoFreq BW ! A ToneSkyFreq of 0.00 means that that tone number carries ! the state count information.
