SELF_NITER

    Variable length array specifying the number of Clean components retained
    for  each  loop  of the self-calibration process.  Default is 0, meaning
    all Clean components found by CLEAN.

    For simple structures and Phase calibration, 10 may be enough. For  more
    complex  ones,  be sure to include enough Clean components in the model.
    More components can be taken at each step, although the better knowledge
    of phase errors often allows the source to be represented with a smaller
    number of components after self-calibration than before.  The default is
    a  reasonably  good  compromise,  although faster convergence may be ob-
    tained with smaller number of components.

    This variable length array can be resized using the LET /RESIZE command.
    For example
        LET SELF_NITER 10 0 0 /RESIZE
    will  lead  to  3 self-calibration loops (if SELF_TIMES and SELF_MINFLUX
    are also of size 3), the first one selecting only 10 components, the two
    others all components.
