Checklist for SRDP calibrations of VLA data, based heavily on the VLASS one.

Step-by-step guide

  1. hifi_flagdata - online flags. Notify scientist if >20% flagged
  2. hifv_priorcals - check for gain compression due to severe RFI
  3. hifv_testBDdcals - check for Data Transmission System (DTS) problems.
  4. hifv_flagbaddef - check that any DTS issues have been flagged.
  5. hifv_semiFinalBPdcals - check for any remaining DTS issues.
  6. hifv_solint - check solints for calibrators are reasonable (< a few mins for the long interval, > 0.45s for the short interval)
  7. hifv_fluxboot2:
    1. check the input tables look clean 
    2. check that  the model is reasonable and covers all spw.
    3. make a note of the phase calibrator flux densities.
  8. hifv_finalcals:
    1. check for delay outliers
    2. check for unusual bandpass shapes
    3. check for outlying bandpass phases
    4. phase (short) gain solution: check for large phase scatter
