            CLIC\SOLVE POINTING [beam] [/PLOT] [/COMPRESS [time_max]] [/PRINT]

            [/TOTAL] [/FIX param1 [value1] param2 [value2] ... ]

        Find pointing corrections from POINTING scans.  All  pointing  scans  in
        the  current  index  are  processed  by a gaussian fit. Its width can be
        fixed if the argument 'beam' is given (in arcsec).  All  continuum  sub-
        bands  and  both  side bands are averaged.  SET AVERAGE METHOD SCALAR is
        recommended. The fits may be displayed with option /PLOT.

        The option /COMPRESS may be used to average data in a given time  inter-
        val before processing, to improve the signal-to-noise ratio.  Default is
        4 seconds.

        The  presence  of  option  /PRINT  produces  a   procedure   file   (IN-
        TER_OBS:pointing.obs),  to  be  used  in  OBS for introducing the fitted
        pointing offset.

        The results may also be written on an output ASCII file  if  /OUTPUT  is
        given.   The  file  is  given  extension  .lis by default; a new file is
        opened except if APPEND is given as a second argument of option /OUTPUT.
        The  file  is by default in a format suitable for the determination of a
        pointing model (program POINT at BURE). The presence of  optional  argu-
        ment  FLUX  changes  the output format for the determination of relative
        fluxes (by ASTRO). With argument TPOINT, the output is written in a for-
        mat suitable for processing by the TPOINT program.

        With  option  /TOTAL,  SOLVE  POINTING uses the total power to solve for
        pointing errors. In that case, option /FIX may be used to fix one param-
        eter. Possible parameters are:

            AZ: the azimuth collimation error (arc sec.)
            EL: the elevation collimation error (arc sec.)
            PEAK: the peak amplitude, in total power units
            WIDTH: the HPBW (arc sec.)
            ZERO: the off-source zero level, in total power units

        With  /TOTAL, /COMPRESS does the ON-OFF combination if in beam switching
        mode. In that case ZERO is preferrably fixed to zero (e.g. SOLVE  POINT-
        ING /TOTAL /COMPRESS /PLOT /FIX ZERO 0).
