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.
