### `TABLES` step

The `TABLES` button performs the same scanning and identification process as the `IMAGING` button, but stores the resulting UV Tables (instead of the .cct and .lmv-clean files for the `IMAGING` button) in a sub-directory, named cyan`./TABLES/` by default, controlled by blue`all%tables`.

This step is optional, and only needed if the user intends to perform some UV data analysis (like UV plane fitting, line stacking, continuum spectral index determination, direct modeling, etc...).

Extraction of the velocity range specified by blue`ALL%RANGE[1:2]` is performed if a magenta`CATALOG` is provided by the user. Spectral resampling according to blue`ALL%RANGE[3]` is performed if and only if blue`ALL%RESAMPLE` is set to `YES`. Without no magenta`CATALOG`, the full spectral coverage is preserved.

Except in `CONTINUUM` mode, line-free continuum UV tables are also produced.
