[daip] question regarding VBGLU

[Cheng-Yu Kuo]

           Dear VLBI experts in AIPS helpdesk:

         My name is Chengyu Kuo, a UV graduate student. I have a question 
about AIPS again!
Part of my VLBA observation is to observe many geodetic calibrators to 
determine the zenith
atmosphere delays and clock errors. For one of my geodetic datasets, I have 
problems to
do VGBLU properly.

         The program ID for this dataset is BB242H. There are two freqids 
for the geodetic observation,
and I need to VBGLU  the two freqids to stick all 8 IF bands together. 
However, for some unknown
reasons, VBGLU cannot stick them properly. The AIPS message is attached at 
the end of this email.
I also attach the jpec image of what I see by using EDITA to view the TY 
table with this email. There are many data that have zero system 
temperature. However, if I do this for each freqid separately, there is no 
such a problem.

         In addition, this problem seem to affect the calibration process. I 
cannot do instrumental
delay calibration properly. There are big phase offsets between the two 
freqids for GBT for the geodetic blocks affected by the mis-match after 
VBGLU. I did not see this problem in my other datasets. Could you help me to 
take a look of this problem. Thank you for your time!

regards
chengyu
