NORMALIZ
Type: Adverb  (Scalar)
Use:  This adverb specifies the type of gain normalization to be used.

Null value:  0 => None (CALIB), global if previously done (xxSMO)

Tasks:
   BPWAY.........Determines channel-dependent relative weights.
                 NORMALIZ >= 0 causes the average weight to remain
                 constant.
   CALIB.........Determines antenna calibration: complex gain.  NORMALIZ
                 overrides previous CPARM(2) to mean 1 global, 2 by
                 subarray, 3 by subarray,IF, and 4 by subarray,IF,pol
   CLSMO.........Smooths a calibration CL table.  NORMALIZ as for SNSMO.
   HOLOG.........Read & process holography visibility data to telescope
                 images.  NORMALIZ > 0 causes amplitude and phase to be
                 normalized.
   SNSMO.........Smooths and filters a calibration SN table.
                 NORMALIZ < 0 means do not change the global
                 normalization, 0 means change it if it was previously
                 not 1.0, > 0 means set it
Procedures:
   IMSCAL........Large image self-cal with IM2CC and OOCAL.
   OOCAL.........Determines antenna complex gain with frequency-
                 dependent models.
