Calculate a baseline-based calibration solution (gain or bandpass)

This task determines a baseline by baseline gain (time) or bandpass (freq)
for all baseline pairs in the data set.   For the usual antenna-based calibration
of interferometric data, this task gaincal is recommended, even with only one
to three baselines.  For arrays with closure errors, use blcal

Keyword arguments:
vis -- Name of input visibility file
default: none; example: vis='ngc5921.ms'
caltable -- Name of output Gain calibration table
default: none; example: caltable='ngc5921.gcal'

       --- Data Selection (see help par.selectdata for more detailed information)

field -- Select field using field id(s) or field name(s).
  [run listobs to obtain the list id's or names]
       default: ''=all fields
       If field string is a non-negative integer, it is assumed a field index
 otherwise, it is assumed a field name
       field='0~2'; field ids 0,1,2
       field='0,4,5~7'; field ids 0,4,5,6,7
       field='3C286,3C295'; field named 3C286 adn 3C295
       field = '3,4C*'; field id 3, all names starting with 4C
spw -- Select spectral window/channels
       default: ''=all spectral windows and channels
       spw='0~2,4'; spectral windows 0,1,2,4 (all channels)
       spw='<2';  spectral windows less than 2 (i.e. 0,1)
       spw='0:5~61'; spw 0, channels 5 to 61
       spw='0,10,3:3~45'; spw 0,10 all channels, spw 3, channels 3 to 45.
       spw='0~2:2~6'; spw 0,1,2 with channels 2 through 6 in each.

        spw 1, channels 20-30, and spw 2, channels, 1,2 and 3
intent -- Select observing intent
  default: ''  (no selection by intent)
  intent='*BANDPASS*'  (selects data labelled with
                        BANDPASS intent)
selectdata -- Other data selection parameters
       default: True
timerange  -- Select data based on time range:
       default = '' (all); examples,
       timerange = 'YYYY/MM/DD/hh:mm:ss~YYYY/MM/DD/hh:mm:ss'
       Note: if YYYY/MM/DD is missing dat defaults to first day in data set
       timerange='09:14:0~09:54:0' picks 40 min on first day
       timerange= '25:00:00~27:30:00' picks 1 hr to 3 hr 30min on next day
       timerange='09:44:00' data within one integration of time
       timerange='>10:24:00' data after this time
uvrange -- Select data within uvrange (default units kilo-lambda)
       default: '' (all); example:
       uvrange='0~1000kl'; uvrange from 0-1000 kilo-lamgda
       uvrange='>4kl';uvranges greater than 4 kilo lambda
       uvrange='0~1000km'; uvrange in kilometers
antenna -- Select data based on antenna/baseline
       default: '' (all)
       If antenna string is a non-negative integer, it is assumed an antenna index
 otherwise, it is assumed as an antenna name
       antenna='5&6'; baseline between antenna index 5 and index 6.
       antenna='VA05&VA06'; baseline between VLA antenna 5 and 6.
       antenna='5&6;7&8'; baseline 5-6 and 7-8
       antenna='5'; all baselines with antenna 5
       antenna='5,6,10'; all baselines with antennas 5 and 6
scan -- Scan number range - New, under developement
observation -- Observation ID(s).
       default: '' = all
       example: '0~2,4'
msselect -- Optional complex data selection (ignore for now)

solint --  Solution interval (units optional) 
      default: 'inf' (~infinite, up to boundaries controlled by combine); 
      Options: 'inf' (~infinite), 'int' (per integration), any float
       or integer value with or without units
      examples: solint='1min'; solint='60s', solint=60 --> 1 minute
        solint='0s'; solint=0; solint='int' --> per integration
        solint-'-1s'; solint='inf' --> ~infinite, up to boundaries
        enforced by combine
combine -- Data axes to combine for solving
      default: 'scan' --> solutions will break at field and spw boundaries,
        but may extend over multiple scans (per field and spw) up
        to solint.
      Options: '','scan','spw',field', or any comma-separated combination
      example: combine='scan,spw'  --> extend solutions over scan boundaries
       (up to the solint), and combine spws for solving
freqdep -- Solve for frequency dependent solutions
       default: False (gain; True=bandpass); example: freqdep=True
calmode -- Type of solution
       default: 'ap' (amp and phase); example: calmode='p'
       Options: 'p','a','ap'
solnorm -- Normalize solutions.  For freqdep=F, this is a global (per-spw) 
   normalization of amplitudes (only).  For freqdep=T, each baseline 
   solution spectrum is separately normalized by its (complex) mean.
default: False (no normalization)

gaintable -- Gain calibration table(s) to apply
       default: '' (none);
       examples: gaintable='ngc5921.gcal'
         gaintable=['ngc5921.ampcal','ngc5921.phcal']
gainfield -- Select a subset of calibrators from gaintable(s)
       default:'' ==> all sources in table;
       'nearest' ==> nearest (on sky) available field in table
       otherwise, same syntax as field
       example: gainfield='0~3'
        gainfield=['0~3','4~6']
interp -- Interpolation type (in time[,freq]) to use for each gaintable.
 When frequency interpolation is relevant (B, Df, Xf),
 separate time-dependent and freq-dependent interp
 types with a comma (freq _after_ the comma).                
 Specifications for frequency are ignored when the
 calibration table has no channel-dependence.
 Time-dependent interp options ending in 'PD' enable a
 "phase delay" correction per spw for non-channel-dependent
 calibration types.
 default: '' --> 'linear,linear' for all gaintable(s)
 example: interp='nearest'   (in time, freq-dep will be
                              linear, if relevant)
          interp='linear,cubic'  (linear in time, cubic
                                  in freq)
          interp=',spline'  (spline in freq; linear in
                             time by default)
          interp=['nearest,spline','linear']  (for multiple gaintables)
 Options: Time: 'nearest', 'linear'
          Freq: 'nearest', 'linear', 'cubic', 'spline'
spwmap -- Spectral windows combinations to form for gaintable(s)
default: [] (apply solutions from each spw to that spw only)
Example:  spwmap=[0,0,1,1] means apply the caltable solutions
          from spw = 0 to the spw 0,1 and spw 1 to spw 2,3.
          spwmap=[[0,0,1,1],[0,1,0,1]]
gaincurve -- Apply internal VLA antenna gain curve correction (True/False)
       default: False; 
       Use gaincurve=True ONLY for VLA data
opacity -- Opacity correction to apply (nepers), per spw
       default: [] (no opacity correction for any spw)
       examples:
   A global value for all spws:
     opacity=0.051
   Different values for spws 0,1,2:
     opacity=[0.051, 0.055, 0.057]
   (if more than 3 spws, spw 3 and higher will
    be assigned the last specified value, or 0.057)
       Typical VLA values are: 5 GHz - 0.013, 8 GHz - 0.013
       15 GHz - 0.016, 23 GHz - 0.051, 43 GHz - 0.07
parang -- If True, apply the parallactic angle correction (required
       for polarization calibration)
       default: False
