OPTIONS /TEMPLOAD

        /TEMPLOAD tempColdLoad tempAmbientLoad
        /TEMPLOAD L[OOKUP]     L[OOKUP]
        /TEMPLOAD *            ...

        Set effective temperatures for the calibration loads at cold and ambient
        temperature.

        Real      :: tempColdLoad      !
        Real      :: tempAmbientLoad   !

        NEW LOGIC FOR SINGLE-PIXEL SIS RECEIVERS (FROM SUMMER 2007, paKo v1.0.7)

        If a numerical value is entered for tempColdLoad or tempAmbientLoad,
        that value is used for calibration calculations.

        Instead of specifying a value one may enter the string L(OOKUP) for
        tempColdLoad and/or tempAmbientLoad.  This is shown in the pakoDisplay
        by the letter "L" instead of a number.

        In this case, during the execution of the observations, the NCS will
        use the "best-known" values for the corresponding load temperature(s).
        For tempColdLoad this is based on a lookup table, for tempAmbientLoad
        it is derived from a measurement of the physical temperature.

        The lookup table for tempColdLoad normally is valid for the standard
        calibration system with a closed-cycle cooling system.

        A * can be substituted for tempColdLoad, which means to leave the
        value for tempColdLoad unchanged from the previous RECEIVER command.

        IF THE OBSERVERS HAVE ANY DOUBT ABOUT THIS, THEY SHOULD ASK A RECEIVER
        ENGINEER FOR THE CORRECT VALUE AND ENTER IT EXPLICITLY.

        NOTE: FOR HERA The new logic is not yet available. However, for HERA
        "best-known" values are always used during the execution of the
        observations. This is the same logic as in pevious versions of paKo/NCS.
