Goals

The goals for the design of the calibration and imaging capabilities were described by Cornwell and Wieringa (1996). Here we describe the additional goals for cross-calibration:

Describe calibration information in the form of MeasurementComponents,
Allow very general selection of data for calibration determination (e.g. ``All 6cm observations where wind velocity $\leq$ 3 m/s''),
Allow direct manipulation of calibration tables,
Allow iterative calibration,
Allow incremental calibration,
Allow construction of MeasurementComponents from externally-derived data or from calibration solutions,
Allow specification of source structure via SkyModels,
Keep all data in one place.
