FPARM
Type: Adverb   (Real(30))
Use:  A general adverb which contains thirty elements to send to a
      task.
Null value:  Usually 0.
Tasks:
   BPWAY.........Determines channel-dependent relative weights.  FPARM
                 sets the parameters of the algorithm.
   CLCOP.........Copy CL/SN file calibration between polarizations or
                 IFs.  FPARM lists the "good" IFs to be averaged.
   CUBIT.........Model a galaxy's density and velocity distribution from
                 a full cube.  The FPARM are parameter values for
                 parameters that can be fit to an HI data cube.
   DTCHK.........Task to check results of a test using simulated data.
                 FPARM is a list of default gains for each IF.
   DTSIM.........Generate fake UV data.  FPARM is a list of default
                 gains for each IF.
   OFLAG.........Uses on-line flag table information to write a flag
                 table.  FPARM(i) > 0 causes flagging if bit i is set.
   PEEK..........Fits pointing model function to output from the VLA.
                 FPARM selects which parameters are fit.
   PLOTR.........Basic task to generate a plot file from text input.
                 FPARM defines which groups are fit with a polynomial
                 and the order of that polynomial.
   RFLAG.........Flags data set based on time and freq rms in fringe
                 visibilities.  FPARM defines control of the flagging
                 including extensions of the flags after they are
                 generated.
   RESOU.........Changes (renumbers) a list of source numbers in UV data
                 and tables.  FPARM lists the inout source numbers.
   SPXMD.........Adds images of model objects to image cubes in spectral
                 index.
   SUFIX.........Modifies source numbers on uv data.  FPARM lists the
                 start times of the time intervals.
   VBCAL.........Scale visibility amplitudes by antenna based constants.
                 FPARM lists the constants for antennas 1-30.
