BPSOLINT
Type: Adverb  (Scalar)
Use:  Provided to BPASS as SOLINT by VLBARUN and VLBAPIPE.
      Adverb is only known after RUN VLBARUN or VLBAPIPE.

      The interval over which to average the data before solving
      for the bandpasses (minutes).  0 => scan for multi- and single-
      source files; whole time range for single-source files with no
      NX (index) table.  < 0 => whole time range and ALL sources.  In
      this case, if there is more than one CALSOUR, no spectral index
      correction will be made.

      For VLBI data with multiple calibrator scans prodecd odd results
      with SOLINT < 0.  SOLINT = 0 with DOBAND=1 seems to be okay for
      VLB data.

Procedures:
   VLBAPIPE......Applies amplitude and phase calibration procs to VLBA
                 data.  BPSOLINT < 0 not allowed.
   VLBARUN.......Applies amplitude and phase calibration procs to VLBA
                 data.  BPSOLINT < 0 not allowed.
