[daip] [Fwd: processing PC tables]

[Amy Mioduszewski]

Hi Enno,

Ahh, my guess then is that they just didn't attach pulse cals.  I checked and a 
cal file (bm261cal.vlba.gz) is available here.  You can download it from: 
http://www.vlba.nrao.edu/astro/VOBS/astronomy/jul07/bm261/.

You can process the file with VLOG and then load in the pulse cals with PCLOD. 
The Tsys, flags etc are also in this file so you could compare those too, if you 
wanted.

Cheers,

Amy
