[daip] IBLED

[Phil Diamond]

Dear Amy,

I have worked some more on this and embarrassed to say that IBLED is
working fine. The error was mine.

However, I should point out that it was caused by confusion in the
interactive input parameters. Rather than choosing 'ENTER IF' from the
left hand menu on the TV I chose 'ENTER 2ND IF'. Choosing the latter then
switches to displaying the amplitude ratio between the two IFs. I don't
think amplitude ratio was an original parameter, hence my confusion. It
might be appropriate to modify the name in the menu to avoid further
confusion.

Another change that I would strongly recommend is to make the default
flagging option to be 'ALL CHANNEL' rather than have the user select this.
In almost ALL cases this is what the user prefers and surely, it is more
effective to have the default reflect the majority useage rather than that
of a minority.

Regards, and sorry for the user error, Phil
