 We should now calibrate the secondary with mfcal, in the same way that it would have been done with old data.
+However, to do this requires a lot of repetition. This repetition can be handled quickly using the `dac_repeat.pl`
+script that is attached to this webpage. It works for any MIRIAD task that you want to run in the same way for
+multiple visibility sets. For example, to run mfcal on each secondary set, give the following command:
+
+`dac_repeat.pl --task mfcal --repeat vis --repeat-freq 0515-674 interval=0.1`
+
+The script will find all the frequencies that 0515-674 was observed at and repeat the command
+
+`mfcal vis=0515-674.???? interval=0.1`
+
+for each set. It can also be used to vary multiple inputs, so we can automatically generate postscript plots
+for each set, letting the script change the name of the file each time:
+
+`dac_repeat.pl --task uvplt --repeat vis --repeat-freq 0515-674 --repeat device --repeat-freq 0515-674_%f.ps/cps axis=real,imag options=nobase`
+
+The script will repeat the command
+
+`uvplt vis=0515-674.???? device=0515-674_????.ps/cps axis=real,imag options=nobase`
+
+because the `%f` format modifier makes the script substitute the available frequencies.
