This is CASA eMERLIN pipeline to calibrate data from the e-MERLIN array. Please fork the repository before making any changes and read the Coding Practices page in the wiki. Please add issues with the pipeline in the issues tab.
Currently the pipeline almost never crashes completely, so even if there are problems with the data you can see the final weblog and the plots and check problems.
However, when an antenna is present but only contains noise (antenna missing or failing for some reason), fluxscale crashes CASA and everything dies, so no weblog is produced.
I need to find a way (similar to catch exception) to identify the problem before it crashes CASA and avoid the complete failure.
(currently the solution is to flag the failing antenna)
