Next: Reduction procedure Up: Extinction and transformation Previous: Strategy . Standard stars can be included in the extinction solution, if one is careful. The problem is that there are usually appreciable ``conformity errors'' due to mismatch between the instrumental and the standard passbands [ 16 ]. ... Thus, it is wrong to assume that the transformation between the instrumental system and the standard system is exact, even if there were no measurement error in either system [ 1 ]. ...

You also need to decide how you want this correction to be applied - to the center of each correlator board or to the four boards as a whole (thereby preserving the topocentric frequency offset between the boards). Typically, this choice depends on whether each board is centered on a known spectral line, or if you are doing a search in velocity space for an object. ...

. To redirect the standard input for a command use the < (less than) character followed by the name of the input file. For example: mail tony < memo . This redirects the standard input to the mail command so that it comes from the file memo . The effect of this is to mail the contents of this file to the user tony .
