RECEIVER /TEMPLOAD

    /TEMPLOAD tempColdLoad tempAmbientLoad
    /TEMPLOAD L[OOKUP]     L[OOKUP]
    /TEMPLOAD *            ...

    Set effective temperatures for the calibration loads at cold and ambient
    temperature.

    Real      :: tempColdLoad      !
    Real      :: tempAmbientLoad   !

    NEW LOGIC FOR SINGLE-PIXEL SIS RECEIVERS (FROM SUMMER 2007, paKo v1.0.7)

    If a numerical value is entered for tempColdLoad or tempAmbientLoad,
    that value is used for calibration calculations.

    Instead of specifying a value one may enter the string L(OOKUP) for
    tempColdLoad and/or tempAmbientLoad.  This is shown in the pakoDisplay
    by the letter "L" instead of a number.

    In this case, during the execution of the observations, the NCS will
    use measured values for the corresponding load temperature(s).

    A * can be substituted for tempColdLoad, which means to leave the
    value for tempColdLoad unchanged from the previous RECEIVER command.

    NOTE: FOR HERA
    measured values are always used during the execution of the
    observations. This is the same logic as in older versions of paKo/NCS.
