[evla-sw-discuss] Controlling the baseband slope correctors

[Barry Clark]

Basically, I'd like to handle things like we do Set-and-Remember, that
stuff appears automatically so we don't have to go bug the correlator
all the time, and often enough that we can have a setup scan and be
guaranteed to get a record in a reasonable time.  It doesn't look like
providing that would be too big a burden on the network, and StBs mostly
care about their peak effort, so doing it often is not a big pain for
them also.
