It copies an input CL table and applies these antenna position corrections to the antenna phases. WARNING: THIS TASK WILL CHANGE THE ANTENNA TABLE. Careful observers might wish to make a copy of the AN table (e.g. with TASAV) before running VLANT. Note the DOINVERS option added to allow the change to the AN table to be undone. The undo also applies to the CL table so be careful with GAINVER. This task works with data from the VLA Correlator through January 2010 and for the EVLA correlator thereafter. Note that the coordinate system used in the two environments is different, so the numbers in the tables are different. The two environments therefore use files by slightly different names. 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...Which subarray to correct. This selects the AN table that will be considered and updated. GAINVER....Input CL table version. If GAINVER is equal zero or greater than the total number of the CL tables then GAINVER is equal to the last existing CL table. A new CL table will always be created if any corrections are made. ----------------------------------------------------------------
