<div class="PlainText">Dear AIPS team,<br>
I am using ParselTongue software to run AIPS tasks from a Python script <br>
developed by people from the JIVE team. The pipeline is originally designed <br>
to calibrate EVN datasets. The main script is EVN.py which needs external <br>
evn_aips_tasks.py and evn_funcs.py. These are found at <br>
<a href="https://www.jive.eu/jivewiki/doku.php?id=parseltongue:grimoire#the_evn_pipeline">https://www.jive.eu/jivewiki/doku.php?id=parseltongue:grimoire#the_evn_pipeline</a><br>
I am running their script for non-EVN data. The pipeline can load the data <br>
and then when it goes to the step for plotting, the pipeline crashes where <br>
POSSM is run. The AIPS error message I get is the following<br>
<br>
POSSM4: Task POSSM (release of 31DEC23) begins<br>
POSSM4: UVGET: doing no flagging this time<br>
POSSM4: POSSUV: at visibility number 1<br>
POSSM4: Averaged 6 visibilities from total data set of 196<br>
POSSM4: POSSUV: for antenna(s) GS<br>
POSSM4: Covering timerange 00/18:00:01 - 00/18:00:06<br>
POSSM4: Will plot 128 channels * 8 IFs polarization RR<br>
POSSM4: FILLPL: Amplitude mean: 1.2312E+00 rms: 3.6756E-01<br>
POSSM4: FILLPL: Phase mean: 0.0000E+00 rms: 0.0000E+00<br>
POSSM4: ZDIR: COULD NOT TRANSLATE LOGICAL =<br>
POSSM4: ZDIR:<br>
POSSM4: GINIT ERROR 2 ON OPENING TASK HELP FILE<br>
POSSM4: CATIO: CATBLK 1 IN USE, CAN'T WRITE<br>
POSSM4: DELEXT: CATIO WRITE ERROR 4<br>
POSSM4: REFRSH: ERROR 42 RECEIVED FROM PLCREA<br>
POSSM4: ZFIO: LUN = 26 NOT OPEN IN FTAB<br>
POSSM4: MTICS: GRAPH LABEL WRITING ERROR 1 FROM GVEC<br>
POSSM4: ZFIO: LUN = 26 NOT OPEN IN FTAB<br>
POSSM4: ZCLOSE: DOES NOT PERFORM TEXT FILE CLOSES AS OF 15OCT87<br>
POSSM4: DELEXT: NO EXTENSION FILE OF TYPE PL<br>
POSSM4: Purports to die of UNNATURAL causes<br>
<br>
It gets stuck after FILLPL and I do not quite understand what is happening <br>
here. I have never encountered such errors when running the same parameters <br>
inside AIPS.<br>
Do you have any comments or advice on this? At least I would like to <br>
understand why POSSM is crashing like that.<br>
My best regards,<br>
Wara Chamani<br>
