CALIBRATE

    CALIBRATE (no parameters)

    Specify a calibration measurement with the heterodyne receivers,
    normally with subscans "SAC": Sky -- Ambient temperature load -- Cold load

    NOTE: CALIBRATE is always and automatically done with switching mode "total
    and the time per phase is adjusted to be in the range 0.1 to 0.5 [sec]

    /SKY xOffsetC yOffsetC
    or
    /SKY NO                        ! do not do sky calibration

    Do a calibration subscan on sky.

    Real      :: xOffsetC          ! x-offset
    Real      :: yOffsetC          ! y-offset

    NOTES: with the usage /SKY xOffsetC yOffsetC, both parameters are required,
    but you can replace either parameter with * to leave it unchanged.
    The system for the offsets is selected through the option /SYSTEM.
