This can then be applied to the CL table with CLCAL. Note, if you run SETJY before running TLCAL, then you can use the SU table fluxes to scale the amplitudes of the known calibrators. Then, after TLCAL, you may run GETJY to determine the fluxes of the secondary calibrators before running CLCAL to apply the SN table to the data set CL table. 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. DOAPPLY....If > 0, apply any fluxes found in the SU table to the amplitudes found by telcal when writing the SN values. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: see above. ASDMFILE...(1) Last part of file name without the .GN at the end ASDMFILE(2) must be blank (' '). If it is not blank the task will use the alternative below. The telcal files are located at the path name: /home/mchammer/evladata/telcal/// !! ASDMFILE(1) !! .GN. The task will supply the /home/mchammer and year and month parts and the .GN. You need to provide the file indentifier part such as C_quad1234_016.58274.92804802083 which is the same as the identifier part needed by BDDFLIST and BDF2AIPS. Be sure to omit the close quote so that case is preserved in the adverb value. An alternative if you have obtained the .GN file from mchammer already: Use both ASDMF(1) and ASDMF(2) to specify the full path to the .GN file (but leave off the .GN which the task will append). This could be the same values for ASDMF as used by BDFLIST and BDF2AIPS if you put the .GN file in the same directory as the top directory of the SDM/BDF files. ----------------------------------------------------------------
