MOMENTS

        [ADVANCED\]MOMENTS  [/CUTS] [/MASK] [/METHOD Mean|Peak|Parabolic]
                         [/RANGE Min Max TYPE] [/THRESHOLD Thre [Unit]]


      Compute  the 4 main "moments" of the CLEAN (or SKY) data cube, and re-
    turn them as SIC Image variables.  SKY has priority over CLEAN  if  both
    are defined.

    The 4 moments are
    M_AREA   Integrated area over the velocity range
    M_PEAK   Peak brightness value
    M_VELO   Mean or peak velocity
    M_WIDTH  Weighted line width
    The  options  control the method, the selected part of the cube (default
    channels from FIRST to LAST), and the threshold for detection (default 3
    sigma).

    The  resulting  images  can  be displayed using command SHOW MOMENTS and
    saved using WRITE MOMENTS.
