BASELINE
Type: Adverb (REAL(50))
Use: Standard data selection adverb, used in conjunction with
ANTENNAS to specify baseline selection.

between antenna I and J is selected (or deselected if any of
ANTENNAS or BASELINE are negative) if
# in ANTE # in BASE Selected or de-selected if
0 0 always
>0 0 (I in ANTE) .OR. (J in ANTE)

>0 >0 ((I in ANTE) .AND. (J in BASE)) .OR.
((I in BASE) .AND. (J in ANTE))
Verbs VLA, EVLA, VLBA, and HSA may be used to set values into
BASELINE (or any other adverb array). In this case, the equals
sign is required, e.g.,
ANTENNAS = EVLA
BASELINE = VLA
to process all baselines between new EVLA and old VLA antennas.
Be careful of INNAME et al., SUBARRAY, and DOINVERS which
control what these verbs actually do.
