[daip] 31DEC00 amp selfcal problem ? (fwd)

[Amy Mioduszewski]

Oddly enough I was using SOLTYPE='', so the real problem is still
a mystery.

Hi Amy,

I found out what the problem was just now. Actually I found out how to fix
it, not what the problem is.

I had been running CALIB with SOLTYPE=' ', ie, least square soln. If I
change it to L1, I get proper amp correction solutions ! But then I dont
understand why because I have used SOLTYPE=' ' all along for the last few
years and I have never come across this problem. Besides, when I ran CALIB
on 15OCT99 and got sensible solutions, I had used SOLTYPE=' ' as well.

Anyway, now I can use L1 and go ahead. Can you explain what the problem
is, anyway, when you have it figured ? And thanks for spending so much
time on my problem !

regards
Niruj
