Variable length array specifying the integration time (in seconds) for
each loop of the self-calibration process.
At NOEMA, 45 sec is the normal minimum integration time. Depending on
Signal to Noise, you may need to have this longer, e.g. 120 sec. For
several loops, start with a longer value, and decrease only at the end.
At ALMA, the minimum integration time is 6 sec. At VLA, this may be as
small as 1 sec.
It is recommended to use the same integration time for the last two it-
erations, to simplify the interpretation of the results and of the SELF-
CAL SHOW display.
This variable length array can be resized using the LET /RESIZE command.
For example
LET SELF_TIMES 180 90 45 /RESIZE
will lead 3 self-calibration loops (if SELF_TIMES and SELF_MINFLUX are
also of size 3) with decreasing integration times.
