MINAMPER
Type: Adverb (Real)
Use: Specifies the minimum amplitude or gain amplitude error before
some action is taken, usually generation of error counts,
and/or messages.
Null value: 0
Tasks:
BPASS.........Determines the spectral bandpass correction tables.
MINAMPER is the minimum ampitude closure error to
generate a count and, if the print level is high
enough, a message. MINAMPERR is in PER CENT; thus 2
causes errors if the relative amplitude after
application of the bandpass solution is outside the
range 0.98 - 1.02. MINAMPERR = 0 => do not test
closure.
CALIB.........Determines antenna calibration: complex gain. MINAMPER
is the minimum amplitude closure error in per cent to
generate counting and optionally printing and flagging.
Procedures:
IMSCAL........Large image self-cal with IM2CC and OOCAL. MINAMPER is
passed to CALIB.
OOCAL.........Determines antenna complex gain with frequency-
dependent models. MINAMPER is passed to CALIB.
VLACALIB......Runs CALIB and LISTR for VLA observation. MINAMPER is
passed to CALIB.
