ANTUSE
Type: Adverb  (REAL(50))
Use:  Standard data selection adverb, used to specify a list of antennas
      to be included in, or excluded from, an operation.  If any element
      of the array is negative then all antennas given are excluded;
      else all are included.  The antenna numbers used are the absolute
      values of the elements of ANTUSE.
Null Value:  0
      ANTUSE = 0 usually means all antennas.

      ANTUSE is often used to specify the subgroup of antennas having
      been selected by ANTENNAS
Tasks:
   BPEDT.........Interactive TV task to edit uv data based on BP tables.
                 ANTUSE selects the antennas in the initial display.
   BSCAN.........Seeks best scan to use for phase cal, fringe search.
                 ANTUSE is a list of antennas to be ignored.
   CALIB.........Determines antenna calibration: complex gain.  ANTUSE
                 is a list of antennas to be used in determining the
                 mean gain.
   EDITA.........Interactive TV task to edit uv data based on TY/SY/
                 SN/CL tables.  ANTUSE selects the antennas in the
                 initial display.
   EDITR.........Interactive baseline-oriented visibility editor using
                 the TV.  ANTUSE selects the antennas in the initial
                 display.
   PCEDT.........Interactive TV task to edit pulse-cal (PC) tables.
                 ANTUSE selects the antennas in the initial display.
   PDEDT.........Interactive TV task to edit polarization D-term (PD)
                 tables.  ANTUSE selects the antennas in the initial
                 display.
   SNEDT.........Interactive SN/CL/TY/SY table editor using the TV.
                 ANTUSE selects the antennas in the initial display.
Procedures:
   IMSCAL........Large image self-cal with IM2CC and OOCAL.  ANTUSE
                 lists the antennas to be used to find the mean gain.
   OOCAL.........Determines antenna complex gain with frequency-
                 dependent models.  ANTUSE lists the antennas to be
                 used to find the mean gain.
