Legal values depend on the task. Normally, they include the Stokes parameters: I Q U V the combinations of Stokes parameters: IV IQU IQUV the individual correlators: RR LL RL LR or XX YY XY YX and the combinations of correlators: RRLL (RR/LL) RLLR (RL/LR) RLRL (RR/LL/RL/LR) or XXYY (XX/YY) XYYX (XY/YX) XYXY (XX/YY/XY/YX) The generic words are interpreted differently depending on the polarization present in the data: 'HALF' = RR, LL for Stokes values > -5 = XX, YY for Stokes values < -4 'CROS' = RL, LR for Stokes values > -5 = XY, YX for Stokes values < -4 'FULL' = I, Q, U, V for Stokes values > 0 RR, LL, RL, LR for Stokes values < 0, > -5 XX, YY, XY, YX for Stokes values < -4 In many cases, it is acceptable to substitute RR or LL for I when the other is missing. The code will also do this for XX and YY which is less likely to be correct. If you want, "formal I" in which both RR and LL or XX and YY are required to be present change STOKES='I' to STOKES='F'. (The F forms of IQU, IQUV, and IV are also accepted but they are already formal I in the I form.) WARNING: not all tasks will be able to understand this full range of STOKES values. All tasks with the DOCALIB adverb should understand this full range, but even some of these tasks are more limited. For example, IMAGR will image only one Stokes value at a time: I, Q, U, or V.
