The current data are in C array, the earlier high-dynamic range
observations were in A-array. Michael & I came up with a way to
check more carefully if the shortest baselines have the worst
closure errors, e.g. from cross talk or shadowing or aliasing
at low fringe-rates, or whatever.
The answer is that non-closing errors in the WIDAR0 data are
_not_ dependent on baseline length.
Procedure:
. Take final data set used for imaging (after all self-cal).
. Apply BLCAL with e.g. 10min solint, then SPLIT to make a
new dataset.
. DIFUV will divide 2 datasets and make a new one, amp~1, Ph~0,
which one can plot with the familiar UVPLT or VPLOT.
(All this is needed because there is no way to directly plot
the contents of a BL solution table, which I hope Eric can
fix with his usual magic.)
