            [MRTCAL\]MSETUP INPUT Keyword Switch

        [MRTCAL\]MSETUP INPUT BAD YES|NO

        Choose  if  the command READ should read the bad time dumps (in addition
        to the good ones) from the backendXXX tables (including  the  DATA  col-
        umn).  A bad time dump has a null ISWITCH value, and its associated data
        (e.g. MJD, INTEGTIM) are not expected to be correct. Default is YES.

        [MRTCAL\]MSETUP INPUT BANDWIDTH Value

        Setup the desired reading bandwidth in MHz. The nearest value  that  al-
        lows the division of the good spectra channels of each chunkset in equal
        virtual chunk sizes will be used. Exceptions are:
          - if value is 0, use the native hardware chunk size (no subdivision),
          - if value is larger than the native hardware chunk size,  the  latter
            is used instead (same as 0),
          - if  value  is lower than the channel spacing, the latter is used in-
            stead (all channels calibrated individually, use with caution).
        Default is native chunk size.

        [MRTCAL\]MSETUP INPUT DATA NONE|ONTRACK|ALL

        Select how Mrtcal should read the DATA column:
          - NONE: no data is read. Useful to read the other IMB-FITS tables  and
            avoiding  the DATA column which may be large (save time and/or memo-
            ry).
          - ONTRACK: read only the on-track part of the DATA  column,  according
            to the subscan start and stop MJDs.
          - ALL: real the whole DATA column, including the off-track parts.
        Default is ONTRACK.

        [MRTCAL\]MSETUP INPUT MJDINTER YES|NO

        Choose  if  the  command READ should intersect the DATE-OBS and DATE-END
        (on-track range) of the subscan with the MJD columns in the  tables  An-
        tenna  Slow,  Antenna  Fast, and Backend Data. It may happen that one of
        these columns are too short and the data dumps  can  not  be  processed.
        Setting  YES means that the associated dumps in this missing range won't
        be considered on-track anymore. Default is NO.

        [MRTCAL\]MSETUP INPUT TOCHUNK YES|NO

        Choose if Mrtcal should map the DATA column into chunksets at read time.
        NO  means that you won't be able to do anything but READing the raw DATA
        into the internal buffers, and accessing  from  the  VARIABLEs.  YES  is
        needed for calibration. This is the default.
