GENERAL
X-band experiment, observed on 1 November 2015. ER038 contains 8
x 16MHz bands and 2 x polarisations, each with 32 frequency points. 3C454.3
was used as the fringe-finder
14 stations scheduled.

///
ERICOMM
The ERI* value takes into account that:
- IR has no data.
- WB missed the last scan.
- NT missed the first scan.
- SV recorded scans 1 - 47 in RCP only.
The ERI value also takes into account losses that are outside
the station's control, of which there were none for this experiment.
///
POSSM_AUTOCORR
Each scan plotted separately, all stations. Some RFI spikes. Looks like UR
IF5L is dead.
///
VPLOT_UNCAL
Full-experiment for Ef-* baselines, no calibration applied. A 1.5 minute
plot-averaging was used.
///
POSSM_UNCAL
Scalar averaged Ef-* baselines, each scan plotted separately.
No calibration applied yet. UR IF5L is dead... SH IF1L & 2L look low..
///
POSSM_CPOL
NA
///
TSYS
TY1 table, each IF/pol on a separate plot.
///
GAIN
Gain amplitude from CL2 table. ZC L & R are diff...
///
FRING_PHAS
CL3 station phase solutions -- CL3 = CL2+SN2, thus also includes the
initial amplitude/parallactic angle calibration from CL2 and the fringe
solutions from SN2.
///
FRING_DELAY
SN2 station delay solutions for the fringed sources, each
IF/pol on a separate plot.
///
FRING_RATE
SN2 station rate solutions.
///
BANDPASS
Bandpass table 1.
3C454.3 used for bandpass calibration. Some more edge
channel flagging may be beneficial.
///
VPLOT_CAL
Full-experiment for Ef-* baselines, calibrated with
CL3. A 1.5 minute plot-averaging was used.
///
POSSM_CAL
Ef-* baselines calibrated with CL3 and BP1. The amp and phase
plots self-scale, not necessarily going down to 0 in the case of the amps.
///
IMAPN
Naturally weighted dirty maps of phase-referenced sources. Some sources not in
the phase centre...
///
IMAPU
Uniformly weighted dirty maps of phase-referenced sources.
///
CALIB_PHAS1
Plots of post-SPLIT tables SN1 for the sources that have been individually
fringed.
///
CALIB_AMP2
As above, but for the post-SPLIT table SN2.
///
SENS
CL4 gain-amp. self-cal hasn't really fixed L & R discrepancy...
///
CLPHS
Separate files per (fringed) source, showing closure phase
plots for all the triangles. Only stokes=I shown.
///
VPLOT_MODEL
For each (fringed) source, plots of amp/phase on Ef-*
baselines, calibrated with (post-SPLIT) table CL3, with a model-line
overplotted.
///
UVCOV
For each source, a plot of the u-v coverage. Some targets have higher
amplitudes on longer baselines, which is impossible, suggestion calibration
should be improved.
///
UVPLT
For each source, a plot of amp vs. |uv| distance.
///
ICLN
For each source, a CLEAN map resulting from the automated fringing
and self-cal iterations (or phase-referencing) in the pipeline script.
///
