############## JHIBBARD AIPS++ TESTING LOG ################
############## FOR MONTHS OF FEB,MAR 2002  ################

When I did the step-by-step comparison with aips and aips++, I got
very good agreement (2002-01-03-hibbard.txt).  So I turned my testlogs
into the following scripts:

	specline_doall.g: calls the following:
		 specline_flag.g
		 specline_calib.g
		 specline_mapcal.g
		 specline_mapch0.g
		 specline_mapcube.g
		 specline_subcont.g

As I was testing this, I discovered imageprofilefitter.  Using this on
my supposedly bandpass calibrated data, I discovered that the source
cube still had the shape of the bandpass in it! (bug AOCso03349
1/24/02). I did many tests on this. Finally, I went back to Georges
original script and ngc5291 test data, and verified that those steps
DID work. After much more testing, I finally figured out that the
flagging commands where I try to get rid of the first and last few
channels so they won't be used in the "G" calibration are making the
bandpass not get applied (bugged as AOCso03453 2/27/02):

# HERE ARE THE OFFENDING LINES:

BCHAN			:= 3;  
ECHAN			:= 122;
fg.setchan(1:BCHAN-1);
fg.query('ANTENNA1>=0');
fg.setchan(ECHAN+1:NCHAN);
fg.query('ANTENNA1>=0');

# END OF THE OFFENDING LINES

However, when I take those commands out, I no longer get a decent
calibration. What is strange is that plots of the gcal and bcal tables
look EXACTLY the same as before, but the maps suck.

In addition, somewhere along the line msplot stopped
allowing me to plot the calibrated data (bugged as
AOCso03457 3/01/02), so I can't really check my calibration.

I do know that if I flag the first and last few channels, the
calibrator looks a hell of a lot better in any given channel (i.e.,
looks like a point source), but its flux varies with channel.  Same
with the source.  A cube looks ok, although a spectra through it has
the shape of the bandpass. So specline_mapcal.g, specline_mapcube.g,
specline_subcont.g, seem to work when the first and last few channels
are flagged, but give total junk when they are not. The phase cal
looks like a source at the phase center, but is very elongated.
I can't get anything decent on source.

For some reason, specline_mapch0.g does not work either way. The units
on any statistics are junk. **IS THE FOLLOWING TRUE??: ** But if I
type all the commands with specific inputs, it DOES work. So I better
figure out what is wrong there.  THIS USED TO WORK - CHECK TESTLOGS
