An eon or two ago, I volunteered to organize the Tcals for insertion
into the SDM. I am getting around to thinking about it again. I
remind people that the conclusion was, at the time, that the Tcals
should be stored in the 'evlaparm' database, but in a table of their
own. MCAF would extract them and insert them in the SDM in a format
TBD.
What I have in mind is one class to access Tcals, and a couple of
utilities to maintain the database tables.
The class has constructor
CalSpectrum(<receivercode>, <antennacode>, <polarizationcode>)
eg
cs = CalSpectrum("22GHz", "ea07", "R");
Then
cs.getTcal(<freq in MHz>) will return an interpolated value
There will also be an entry
List getCalSpectrum()
to return the whole table.
Question: Should CalSpectrum.java be a part of the
edu.nrao.evla.observe package, or should it go somewhere else?
Other comments?
