VPARM
Type: Adverb   (Real(30))
Use:  A general adverb which contains thirty elements to send to a
      task.
Null value:  Usually 0.

Procedures:
   DOVLAMP.......Produces amp calibration file for phased-VLA VLBI data.
Tasks:
   CLCOP.........Copy CL/SN file calibration between polarizations or
                 IFs.  VPARM provides a list of IFs to be replaced by
                 the average.
   CUBIT.........Model a galaxy's density and velocity distribution from
                 a full cube.  The VPARM are velocity values in km/s for
                 a rotation curve provided by the user.
   DTCHK.........Task to check results of a test using simulated data.
                 VPARM provides Tsys for the IFs in K.
   DTSIM.........Generate fake UV data.
                 VPARM provides Tsys for the IFs in K.
   FIXRL.........Correctes right vs left polarizations for a list of
                 antennas.  VPARM provides the list.
   HOLOG.........Read & process holography visibility data to telescope
                 images.  VPARM provides a model to be used rather than
                 fitting the data.
   PBEAM.........Fits the analytic function to the measured values of
                 the beam.  VPARM provides the parameters controlling
                 the fitting.
   PLOTR.........Basic task to generate a plot file from text input.
                 VPARM defines which data groups are plotted with
                 connecting lines and the line type.
   QUXTR.........Extracts text files from Q,U cubes for input to TARS.
                 VPARM defines the RA/Dec pairs to extract.
   RFLAG.........Flags data set based on time and freq rms in fringe
                 visibilities.  VPARM provides controls over the
                 plotting.
   SPXMD.........Adds images of model objects to image cubes in spectral
                 index.
   TARPL.........Plot input and output text files of the TARS task.
                 VPARM defines which data groups are plotted with
                 connecting lines and the line type.
   VBCAL.........Scale visibility amplitudes by antenna based constants.
                 VPARM provides those constants for antennas 61-90.
   VLAMP.........Makes ANTAB file for phased VLA used in VLBI
                 observations.
