SOLMODE
Type:  Adverb  (string(4))
Use:   This adverb specified the solution mode for a
       calibration solution. Values are:
          'A&P ' => amplitude and phase.
          'P   ' => phase only
          'P!A ' => phase only (no amplitude information)
          'GCON' => amplitude and phase with constraints on
                    amplitude.  This mode requires setting
                    SOLTYPE='GCON', SOLCON may be used.
Null value:
       '    '   => 'A&P ' for multisource (raw) data,
                => 'P   ' for single source data.
Tasks:
   CALIB.........Determines antenna calibration: complex gain.
   KRING.........Fringe fit data to determine antenna calibration,
                 delay, rate.  SOLMODE controls how delays and rates
                 are solved.
   OMFIT.........Fits sources and, optionally, a self-cal model to uv
                 data.  SOLMODE controls the self-calibration mode.
   SCIMG.........Full-featured imaging plus self-calibration loop with
                 editing.
   SCMAP.........Imaging plus self-calibration loop with editing.
   UVFIT.........Fits source models to uv data.  SOLMODE controls the
                 solution mode: A&P. A. RE.
   UVGIT.........Fits source models to uv data.  SOLMODE controls the
                 solution mode: A&P. A. RE.
Procedures:
   IMSCAL........Large image self-cal with IM2CC and OOCAL,
   OOCAL.........Determines antenna complex gain with frequency-
                 dependent models.
   PEELR.........Calibrates interfering sources in multi-facet imges.
