The use of DBCON for imaging is what will give you problems. You will
have to make all of the configurations have the same resolution for
the imaging. This can be done with AVSPC to reduce the number of
channels or with SPECR to reduce or increase the number of channels.
It might be better not to change the parameters because you still need
the central velocity of the ref channel to be the same too.
