getVctr is a collection of routines that use a vector Tcal from the database created by the routines in scal.pro to calibrate various observations. Supports:

Routine Summary  3 routines

procedure getKaSubrNod, scan, [ifnum=integer], [refsmth=refsmth]

Performs vector Tcal calibration for a Subreflector Nod observation with Ka-band.

procedure getVctr, scan1, scan2, [ifnum=integer], [plnum=integer], [fdnum=integer], [refsmth=refsmth]

Performs vector Tcal calibration on an On-Off, Off-On, or Nod observation for all but Ka-band.

procedure getVctrSubrNod, scan, [ifnum=integer], [plnum=integer], [refsmth=refsmth]

Performs scalar Tcal calibration for a Subreflector Nod observation with Q, Ku, or K-band.

Routine Details

getKaSubrNod

procedure getKaSubrNod, scan, [ifnum=integer], [refsmth=refsmth]

Performs vector Tcal calibration for a Subreflector Nod observation with Ka-band.

Combines data from the two beam/pols/phases in the 'correct' way.

Stores results in the PDC

Version
$Id$
Common blocks
calCommon

Parameters
scan
in, required
integer
the scans number for the Track observation.

Keywords
ifnum
in, optional
integer
standard ifnum from the 'get' commands, defaults to 0.
refsmth
in, optional
refsmth
refsmth

getVctr

procedure getVctr, scan1, scan2, [ifnum=integer], [plnum=integer], [fdnum=integer], [refsmth=refsmth]

Performs vector Tcal calibration on an On-Off, Off-On, or Nod observation for all but Ka-band.

Store results in the PDC

Note: whether scan2 = scan1 + 1 or scan2 = scan1 -1 depends upon whether this is an Off-On or On-Off observation, or whether this is a fdnum=0 or fdnum=1. If you get the order backwards, Ta will be negative.

Common blocks

Parameters
scan1
in, required
integer

scan2
in, required
integer
the scans numbers for the on or off observation.
