In BIMA data, the latter are used to store wideband averages. BIMA data contains an average for each window and one for each entire sideband. As a way of minimizing the amount the user has to type in selecting windows, mirfiller supports a notion of a default window passing mode , which can be adapted to the data found in the Miriad dataset. See defpass below for currently available modes. Each call to this function completely overrides previously selections.
Arguments defpass a string indicating the default window passing mode to use.
This mode affects the which kinds of windows get passed when they are not explicitly specified by the other parameters. See general description above for more details.
