HELP SECTION
MORIF
Task: This task is designed to change a data set with multiple
spectral windows each having multiple spectral channels into a
data set with NPIECE (>= 2) times as many spectral windows
("IFs") each with 1/NPIECE times as many spectral channels.
Alternatively, it can combine 1/NPIECE IFs into each output IF.
Some calibrations and normalizations are done on an IF basis
(e.g., CALIB solutions, BPASS normalizations) and this task
allows those to be done over a smaller or larger range of
frequency or spectral channel number.
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.
BIF........Lowest IF (spectral window) included. 0 -> 1.
EIF........Highest IF included. 0 -> max IF.
BCHAN......Lowest channel included
ECHAN......Highest channel included - used to allow NPIECE to work.
NPIECE.....If >= 2, integer nuber of equal pieces in which to break
up each spectral window. Only certain values are
allowed. If there are 64 spectral channels then
NPIECE must be 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32. If there are 63
spectral channels then NPIECE must be 3, 7, 9, or 21.
If < 1, then 1/NPIECE IFs are combined into each output
IF. Again, only certain values have meaning, namely
1/2, 1/3, 1/4, etc. Only some of these are valid -
there must be an equal number of input IFs in each
output IF. Thus if there are 9 input IFs, then only
1/3 and 1/9 are valid.
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 with
space for the file.
