Hi,<div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>I recently received an email about the errors in the AIPS FILLM task for polarimetry data. Although it looks like I'm not affected by the MODCOMP turn off problem since my data were all taken prior to June 27, 2007, I am not quite sure if I'm affected by second problem mentioned in the email: "The problem also affects data obtained in the Modcomp-era that are loaded as correlation coefficients by FILLM, where FILLM has had to "undo" the on-line nominal sensitivity scaling." It seems like this is mostly a problem with solar data, but I thought I'd double-check to make sure. I usually load the data with doweight=10 and douvcomp false. Below is an example of a typical FILLM I use for my data. My correlators setup is 2 IFs of 50 MHz each. </div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div><div>Amanda</div><div><br><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><div>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div>Amanda Kepley </div><div>University of Wisconsin-Madison</div><div>Department of Astronomy</div><div>Tel: (608) 263-1460 </div><div><a href="http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~kepley">http://www.astro.wisc.edu/~kepley</a> </div><div>----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</div><div><br></div><div><div>AIPS 1: FILLM Task to read a VLA archive tape</div><div>AIPS 1: Adverbs Values Comments</div><div>AIPS 1: ----------------------------------------------------------------</div><div>AIPS 1: INTAPE 1 Tape drive number</div><div>AIPS 1: INFILE 'N1569DATA:AM643_' Non-blank: disk file name</div><div>AIPS 1: NFILES 0 Number of files to advance</div><div>AIPS 1: Also applies to ON-LINE!</div><div>AIPS 1: BAND ' ' Freq. band (4,P,L,C,X,U,K,Q)</div><div>AIPS 1: QUAL -1 Source qualifier -1=>all</div><div>AIPS 1: CALCODE ' ' Calibrator code</div><div>AIPS 1: VLAOBS 'AM643' VLA obs. pgm. name ('AZ99')</div><div>AIPS 1: VLAMODE ' ' VLA obs. mode (' '=any)</div><div>AIPS 1: REFDATE ' ' Reference date.
