4.4.1.1 Parameters for Specification : vis and caltable

The input measurement set and output table are controlled by the following parameters:

vis = ’’ # Name of input visibility file
caltable = ’’ # Name of output calibration table

The MS name is input in vis. If it is highlighted red in the inputs (§ 1.4.5.4) then it does not exist, and the task will not execute. Check the name and path in this case.

The output table name is placed in caltable. Be sure to give a unique name to the output table, or be careful. If the table exists, then what happens next will depend on the task and the values of other parameters (e.g. § 4.4.1.6). The task may not execute giving a warning that the table already exists, or will go ahead and overwrite the solutions in that table, or append them. Be careful.
