GAINERR
Type:  Adverb (Real array, 30 elements)
Use:   Specifies the estimated RMS gain error (in gain units,
       ie. dimensionless) for each element of an array.
Null Value:  NONE  ( 0 => no gain error)
Tasks:
   CALIB.....Determines antenna calibration: complex gain.  GAINERR is
             used only with the gain contrained solution type.
   SCIMG.....Full-featured imaging plus self-calibration loop with
             editing.  GAINERR as in CALIB durinng self-cal steps.
   SCMAP.....Imaging plus self-calibration loop with editing.  GAINERR
             as in CALIB durinng self-cal steps.
   UVFIT.....Fits source models to uv data.  GAINERR are the initial
             guesses of the antenna gains to be fit.  0 -> no fit.
   UVGIT.....Fits source models to uv data.  GAINERR are the initial
             guesses of the antenna gains to be fit.  0 -> no fit.
Procedures:
   IMSCAL....Large image self-cal with IM2CC and OOCAL.  GAINERR is
             passed to CALIB.
   OOCAL.....Determines antenna complex gain with frequency-dependent
             models.  GAINERR is passed to CALIB.
