    1717 SamplerStatistics::
    1818 we no longer use these. So we need to avoid checking for them with CABB-type data.
    19 
    2019 StorageOfSYSCALData::
    2120 Now that there are no sampler statistics, we need a different way of carrying along [wiki:Glossary/Tsys Tsys] and 
     
    2625 In the new system there will likely be a spectrum of each, in the form of autocorrelations.
    2726 Tsys is formed from the XX and YY polarisations of the autocorrelations, with the noise diode on and off;
    28  XYPhase from the XY (or its conjugate, YX) with the diode on and off.
    29 
     27 XYPhase from the XY (or its conjugate, YX) with the diode on and off.[[BR]]
     28 [[BR]]
    3029 Deciding what to do here in terms of data representation requires discussions with WarwickWilson.
    3130 Making changes here has flow on effects to other tasks that use Tsys or XYPhase.
    32 
    3331 ApplyingXYPhaseCorrections::
    3432 At present atlod applies the XYPhase during filling. Nothing else (except maybe atxy) uses them.
     
    3937 We will need to carry Tsys info along but may be able to do it more compactly than storing the autocorrelations themselves.[[BR]]
    4038 [[BR]]
    41  Research required: The phase values computed on a per channel basis will be noisy, and applying them will just introduce noise.
     39 Research needed: The phase values computed on a per channel basis will be noisy, and applying them will just introduce noise.
    4240 We need to understand how much smoothing across frequency will be needed.
    4341 Need to do some experiments to understand the sequence of events in reading in a file.

    4543 == DataSizeLimits ==
    46  Research required: need to check for size limits on the data dimensions - number of windows, channels, etc

    4846 == [wiki:XYPhaseCalibration] ==
     
    6967 This requires more selection options than is available with 'ifsel'.

    71  Research required: need to list out the types of datasets that are likely to be written and then decide what

    7270 the "sub-selectable" elements are.
