TYAPL
Task: For the VLA, Tsys is the nominal sensitivity and Tant is some
form of system temperature. FILLM, by default, scales the
measured correlation coefficients by the instantaneous measured
nominal sensitivities, producing data appriximately in deci-Jy.
FILLM can be told to load correlation coefficients only. For
calibration purposes, it is best to have the nominal
sensitivites applied, but it may be better to use a clipped and
time-smoothed version of those sensitivities. TYSMO allows you
to do that clipping and smoothing or, if you prefer interactive
tasks, try SNEDT. Then one can remove the nominal sensitivities
applied by FILLM, if any, and apply smoothed nominal
sensitivites (or leave the data as correlation coefficients if
desired) with TYAPL.
VLBI users warning: This task is not elaborately intelligent
about looking through the TY table to match up Tsys measurements
by source and time. It is tested for and assumes the simple,
all antennas at the same time and source form for the TY tables
of the VLA.
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.
FREQID.....Frequency ID number to do 0 => 1
SUBARRY....Subarray to do 0 => 1
INVERS.....Input version number of the TY table which was applied to
the data and is to be unapplied. 0 => none
If input file is in correlation coefficient form, it is
an error to set INVERS > 0.
IN2VERS....Input version number of the TY table that is to be
applied after INVERS is undone. 0 => none
If the data are not in correlation coefficient form on
input or after INVERS is undone, then it is an error to
set IN2VERS > 0.
If INVERS <= 0 and IN2VERS <= 0, then the program will
set IN2VERS to max TY version if the data are correlation
coefficients and INVERS to max TY version if the data are
in visibility form, leaving the other at 0.
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....Output UV file disk unit. 0 => highest w space.
