Deconvolution parameters are controlled by blueCLEAN_* variables. Progress has been made on automatic guess for Cleaning parameters. The table below presents the current naming scheme, with previous or equivalent names mentioned in parentheses, since these names were (or are still) used by several older packages such as [rgb]1,0,0MAPPING, AIPS or CASA. The equivalent ''old'' names (mentioned in Upper case below) will remain as aliases, while those mentioned in mixed case have disappeared as they were seldom used before.
blueCLEAN_STOP
Stopping value and its Unit
blueCLEAN_ARES
Absolute residual (ARES)
blueCLEAN_FRES
