Once a satisfactory solution table (SN1) has been created, it needs
to be interpolated into a new CL table using CLCAL. Check the results
with SNPLT. The INTERPOL parameter is best set to SELF if
the density of
points is high. Otherwise it may be
necessary to use INTERPOL='2PT' to interpolate between sources,
e.g. if some sources have no
data. An additional
complication arises if
meaurements are blanked in
the SN table (this will occur when negative
values
appear in the antab file). In this situation it is important to
interpolate over the blanked values to avoid having data automatically
flagged by AIPS. This is done by setting SAMPTYP,
BPARM (choose a very small number to avoid smoothing) and
DOBLANK to the following values:
>TASK 'CLCAL
>ANTENNAS 0
>SOURCES ''
>TIMERANG 0
>INTERPOL ''
>SAMPTYP 'BOX'
>BPARM 0.00001
>DOBLANK 1
>SNVER 1
>GAINVER 1
>GAINUSE 2
>GO
The task ACCOR should only be run on data that were produced at the VLBA correlator in Socorro.
