INDXR CPARM(1)=3

CPARM(3)=0.25
 
 
 
 
Created NX(1) 
ANTAB
 
 
 
 
Used a nominal DPFU for Ho of 0.1. Grabbed Tsys values for Ho, Hh...I hope the Ho Tsys values are real Tsys values....they seem reasonable. For Halca used a Tsys of 88K, 92K.

CLCAL OPCODE = CALP

TBOUT INEXT = 'AN'
 
 
 
 
 
TBIN
 
 
 
 
Changed MNTSTA entries in the AN table. Changed Halca from 3 to 2, and changed Hh and Ho to 0. 
TBIN
 
 
 
Read in DQA1 delay and rate solutions. 
SNEDT
 
 
Flagged out a couple of Halca delays

Difmap Data Reduction Notes
Phase selfcal applied? Yes
Global amplitude selfcal (gscal) applied? No
Amplitude selfcal on non-global timescales used? No
Modelfit made and saved? Yes
Image Made and saved? Yes
Comments on Difmap processing
Correlated in Jly 02', so no correlator amplitude correction were required. Do not have short spacings, so can't tell if the amp calibration is wonky or not.
