READ

        [CLEAN\]READ Buffer File [/COMPACT] [/FREQUENCY RestFreq]
      [/RANGE Min Max Type] [/NOTRAIL]

    Read  the  specified  internal  buffer (BEAM, CCT, CGAINS, CLEAN, DIRTY,
    MASK, MODEL, PRIMARY, RESIDUAL, SKY, SUPPORT, SINGLEDISH, UV) from input
    File.   Default  extension is .uvt for UV, CGAINS and MODEL, and for the
    others, in order, .beam, .cct, .lmv-clean, .lmv, .msk, .lobe,  .lmv-res,
    for  Data Cubes when the extension is given as .fits (see HELP READ FITS
    for more details).

    A subset of all available channels can be indicated through  the  /RANGE
    option, even for UV tables.

    The  corresponding  buffer  is available as a SIC image-like variable of
    the same name, so that one can use e.g. HEADER DIRTY command.

    READ * Name   will attempt to read all existing files of same Name  with
    the standard file types corresponding to the respective buffers.

    The  /COMPACT  option  is  used to load the ACA-specific internal buffer
    used in the ALMA joint deconvolution method.

    The /NOTRAIL allows to ignore trailing columns in UV data. This is  nor-
    mally not recommended and should be used for debug only. An exception is
    for "false" mosaics with just 1 field: see HELP READ  /NOTRAIL  for  de-
    tails.
