Make polcal recipe (start with @jskenyon 's configs)

JSKenyon commented 1 year ago

The attached zip files includes two fairly generic QuartiCal config files which I have used for polcal:

configs.zip

Calibration of the primary could be accomplished using a call something like the following:

goquartical GKB.yaml input_ms.path=path/to/ms solver.iter_recipe="[100,100,250]" input_model.recipe=MODEL_DATA solver.reference_antenna=2

Solutions can be transferred to the polarization calibrator and additional terms solved for using something like the following:

goquartical GKBXD.yaml input_ms.path=path/to/ms solver.iter_recipe="[0,100,0,100,1000]" input_model.recipe=MODEL_DATA solver.reference_antenna=2 G.load_from=path/to/primary/G B.load_from=path/to/primary/B G.interp_mode=ampphase B.interp_mode=ampphase

This may be a little confusing as it is all fairly advanced usage but I am happy to discuss anything and everything (and make changes where needed). Note that goquartical help is always up to date and contains some useful tips.
