Display calibration loads

The loads of a calibration scan can be displayed in a plot with e.g. the command:

MRTCAL> @ plot-loads iram30m-4mhz-20100930s200-imb.fits
The result is shown in the Figure [*]. It shows the load values as found in the DATA column of each subscan. They can be averaged (i.e. display a single average load) or not (i.e. display all the single dumps) thanks to the option /AVERAGE YES|NO (default is YES).
Figure: Resulting plot of the procedure @ plot-loads. The X axis is not increasing frequency, but chunks as found in the IMB-FITS. They have to be reordered and reoriented to get the final frequency axis. The mean load value per chunk is also displayed in black, overlaid to each chunk load curve.
