HELP SECTION

SYPRT
Type: Task
Use:  SYPRT reads EVLA SY and CD tables and prints the selected data
      as a table with columns being separate IFs.  PRTSY is another
      task that prints scan and statistical summaries of SY data.
Adverbs:
  INNAME.....Image name (name).       Standard defaults.
  INCLASS....Image name (class).      Standard defaults.
  INSEQ......Image name (seq. #).     0 => highest.
  INDISK.....Disk unit #.             0 => any.
  INVERS.....Version number of SY table to be examined.
  SOURCES....List of sources to be printed. '  '=> all; if any
             starts with a '-' then all except ANY source named.
  QUAL.......Qualifier of source to be printed.    -1 => all.
  CALCODE....Calibrator code of sources to print.  ' '=> all.
                  '*   ' => any non blank code (cal. only)
                  '-CAL' => blank codes only (no calibrators)
                  anything else = calibrator code to select.
  SELBAND....Bandwidth of data to be selected. If more than one IF is
             present SELBAND is the width of the first IF required.
             Units = kHz. For data which contain multiple
             bandwidths/frequencies the task will insist that some form
             of selection be made by frequency or bandwidth.
  SELFREQ....Frequency of data to be selected. If more than one IF is
             present SELFREQ is the frequency of the first IF required.
             Units = MHz.
  FREQID.....Frequency identifier to select (you may determine which is
             applicable from the OPTYPE='SCAN' listing produced by
             LISTR). If either SELBAND or SELFREQ are set, their values
             overide that of FREQID.  However, setting SELBAND and
             SELFREQ may result in an ambiguity.  In that case, the task
             will request that you use FREQID.  If all SELBAND, SELFREQ
             and FREQID are not specified (.le. 0) then all FQ ids will
             be selected.
  SUBARRAY...Subarray number to print.       0 => 1.
  TIMERANG...Time range of the data to be plotted. In order:
             Start day, hour, min. sec, end day, hour, min. sec.
             Days relative to reference date.
  ANTENNAS...A list of the antennas to be printed.  If any number is
             negative then all antennas listed are NOT to be printed
             and all others are.
  FLAGVER....> 0 => apply flag table version FLAGVER to SY table
  DOCRT......False (<= 0) use the line printer if OUTPRINT = ' '
                 else write named OUTPRINT file only.
                 When OUTPRINT is not blank, DOCRT=-2 suppresses the
                 page-feed character on page headers and DOCRT=-3
                 suppresses page headers and most other header
                 information.  When OUTPRINT is blank, the line
                 printer will be used.  PRTSY now counts the lines
                 to be printed before printing any and asks for
                 permission to continue if the count > 500.
             True  (> 0) use the terminal interactively.  The task
                 will use the actual terminal width as a display limit
                 unless 72 < DOCRT < width.  In that case, the display
                 limit will be DOCRT characters.
  OUTPRINT...Disk file name in which to save the line printer output.
             ' ' => use scratch and print immediately for interactive
             jobs - batch jobs use OUTPRINT = 'PRTFIL:BATCHjjj.nnn'
             (jjj= job #, nnn = user #).  When OUTPRINT is not blank,
             multiple outputs are concatenated, and the file is not
             actually printed.
  OPTYPE.....'DIFS' print only Pdif information
             'SUMS' print only Psum information
             'TSYS' print only Tcal*Psum/Pdif information
             'PDIF' print only Pdif information
             'PSUM' print only Psum information
             'PSYS' print only Tcal*Psum/Pdif information
  NDIG.......Number of digits to use (2-7)  0 -> 4  (max ' 9999'
  FACTOR.....The display prints normalized values but the
             normalization may be seriously affected by a few high
             values.  You may scale those displays by a factor
             (0 -> 1, values > 1 are useful).  If you do this, the
             very high values will show as "*****".  Blanked values
             show as " ----".  TSYS gets blanked if Tcal, Psum, or
             Pdif are blanked or have values out of range.
  DOSCALE....> 0  => scale each antenna by its range of values
             <= 0 => scale all antennas the same by the overall
                     range of values
  BADDISK....The disk numbers to avoid for scratch files (sorting
             tables mostly).
