A simple session (at home)

Assuming the IMB-FITS files are in a local folder with no particular restriction, the simplest MRTCAL session which you may think of is the following one:

MRTCAL> index build      ! Build the index of IMB-FITS files in the current directory
MRTCAL> mfind            ! Select all the files for calibration
MRTCAL> mlist            ! Optionally list the files to be calibrated
MRTCAL> file out myclassfile.30m single  ! Open a new Class output file
MRTCAL> pipeline         ! Calibrate all the files
After the processing, you may want to list again the IMB-FITS files, with their updated calibration status:
MRTCAL> mfind            ! Update the list of files
MRTCAL> mlist            ! List the files and their calibration status

After the PIPELINE step, the CLASS file myclassfile.30m contains all the science spectra (with the scientific target as source name), but also calibration spectra (with the source name CALSKY). See subsection [*] for details. The PIPELINE command has run using the current defaults, but there are a number of tunings which can be modified. See HELP MSET for details, and type MSET to see their current values.
