bimacalibrater.solve - Function

	Package	bima
	Module	bimacalibrater
	Tool	bimacalibrater

Solve for the selected calibration components

Synopsis
solve(sources)

Description

The solve function wraps the calibrater tool's solve function. Solutions are generated and a calibration table is written for the specified sources. In addition, a keyword called SPW_INFO is written to the calibration table. This keyword contains information on the spectral window configuration of the source being solved for. This information is then read by the transfer function to help it make an educated guess about how the windows in the calibration written by solve map to the spectral windows in the sources to which the calibration will be applied.

Arguments

sources		Nicknames of sources on which to run calibrater.solve()
		Allowed:	Vector of strings (nicknames or roles of sources)
		Default:	'phcals'

Returns
Bool or fail

Example

- bc := bimacalibrater(['sgrb2.ms','sgra.ms'],
+ '1733-130.ms',targetnames=['sgrb','sgra'],phcalnames='1733'); 
- bc.setjy(fluxdensity=[5,0,0,0]);
T
- bc.setdata('1733',mode='channel');
T
- bc.setsolve('1733','G',60,refant=4,table='gcal');
T
- # bc.solve('phcals') or bc.solve('1733') are equivalent to the following
- bc.solve()
T
