[daip] ACSCL lost my calibrator.

[R. Craig Walker]

I have 3.5 minute target source scans and 40 second calibrator scans.  I
specified SOLINT=-4 in ACSCL to try to get scan averages.  The result is
that I lost all of the short calibrator scans.  The help file says that
"small intervals less than 0.2*MIN(SOLINT,SVAN) are not recorded to the
output SN table".  That probably explains the problem.  I say probably
because I have no clue what "SVAN" means.  It should be defined.  I see
that the same issue exists in the ACCOR help file (I did a grep to see if
it was defined in some other help file).  If it is meant to be the scan
length, which would be a good thing, then something's not working - maybe
not in ACCOR either.

Unfortunately it took quite a bit of floundering around to figure out the
problem.

Cheers,

Craig
