Amplitude weirdness in tf-plane solver (diag-diag 0)

[bennahugo]

Attempting a tf-plane calibration. The gainphase table that gets dumped has 0 amplitude although it does not look like it gets enforced. The convergence rate is very low as well but it is probably just an snr issue. The images do improve slightly though.

[o-smirnov]

As just discussed with @bennahugo, this is probably a CASA table export issue.

CubiCal in this instance produces G:phase, which is a real number (the phase, in radians). Sticking the number into a CASA gain table as is makes the latter interpret it as a real amplitude, no phase.

Solution is to export exp{1j*G_phase} into the CASA table.
