[daip] DFTPL question-2

Hello Eric, another question about DFTPL.
Is it advised to run DFTPL on single channel residual datasets
(if the source is at the tangent point, so when BW smearing can be
ignored) ?
My lightcurve was quite noisy with 21 channels, but that changed after
running UVFIX on the multi channel dataset which moved the transient to
the tangent point and then running SPLIT (with APAR(1)=1, NCHAV=total #
of channels, CHINC=0).
I get much smoother lightcurves now.
Is that due to to the boxcar spectral smoothing from SPLIT?
The reported error bars in DFTPL (with BPAR(9)=2) are significantly
larger than on the multi channel dataset, but also much more realistic
(especially after the sqrt(2) correction).
Thanks,
Hanno.
