Hi AIPS,
I think I've found a problem with FITLD, but can't yet rule out it is a
problem with my code generating the FITS files since I am using a feature
not well tested.
The problem is FITLD throwing away much or all of data from a VLITE FITS
file with a comment of the form:
FITLD1: MC2CL: WARNING 5 CL RECORDS DID NOT GET CLOCK AND ATMOSP
HERE
This points to the AIPS IM table (corresponding to the FITS-IDI ML table).
I have made two FITS-IDI files for the same obseration:
/users/wbrisken/badFITLD/BAD.FITS
/users/wbrisken/badFITLD/GOOD.FITS
The first is the one originally spit out from VLITE. The second is one I
made using all of the same data except that before conversion to FITS I
recomputed the delay model with 2 minute duration polynomials. The
Original file used 10 minute duration polynomials. VLITE is the first
case I am aware of that something other than 2 minutes is used.
With PRTAB I have confirmed that in both cases there is a polynomial
appropriate for each visibility, so I suspect the problem is in FITLD, but
I cannot be sure. Could you take a look?
All VLITE files have been using 10 minute polynomial intervals and only
some have this problem on load.
