HELP SECTION
DIFUV
Task: This task writes out the difference or ratio of two UV data
sets. It does very little checking to see if they match. One
purpose of this task would be to difference the two throws of
beam-switched single-dish continuum data. Another use would be
to subtract a residual uv data set from the original to produce
a model uv data set. The division operation could be used to
produce a data set suitable for determining gains.
Tables such as calibration (CL, SN), flag (FG), bandpass (BP),
etc. are not applied to either data set. The tables of the
first data set are copied to the output; the tables of the
second data set are ignored.
Adverbs:
INNAME.....First input UV file name (name). Standard defaults.
INCLASS....First input UV file name (class). Standard defaults.
INSEQ......First input UV file name (seq. #). 0 => highest.
INDISK.....First input UV file Disk drive # . 0 => any.
IN2NAME....2nd UV file name subtracted from or divided into the
first data set.
IN2CLASS...2nd UV file class
IN2SEQ.....2nd UV file sequence number.
IN2DISK....2nd UV file sequence number.
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....Disk drive # of output UV file. 0 => highest with
space for the file.
SOLINT.....Data are differenced only if times are close. SOLINT sets
that limit in minutes. 0 => 0.01 sec.
OPTYPE.....'DIV' => do division, else do subtraction.
FQCENTER,..> 0 => Change frequency axis reference pixel to
Nchan / 2 + 1
else => do not change reference pixel
