6    Return the (time) average of a scan or list of scans. [in channels only]

9        one scan or comma separated  scans
10        mask:     an optional mask (only used for 'var' and 'tsys' weighting)
11        scanav:   True (default) averages each scan separately

14                  weighted), 'tsys' (1/Tsys**2 weighted), or 'tint'
15                  (integration time weighted). The default is 'tint'
