Thanks for the reply Eric.

I am following the cookbook prescription in appendix C, using the VLBA
utilities (and in this case, running VLBAPCOR). My understanding is that
task will only run FRING if it does not find pulse-cal information for an
antenna (or if they're wrong). I suppose that answers my own question in a
way; it appears the PC tables were wrong for the antennae in question and I
should therefore be running FRING separately to VLBACCOR, flagging 1,5,8
and setting DPARM (5) to 1?

Cheers,
Sarah
