Ok I was not to specific. I would like to test a different way of calibration and I would like to generate an SN table which I would like to fill 
with the real and imaginary values. Currently I use CALIB to generate such a table, but for more complicated things (for which calib might fall over and does not generate a SN table) I'm in the dark. But if there is not such a task I will stick to the solution I have already.

cheers and thanks for the reply
