Quality assurance parameters are supplied via the command line option -cal qaparams=<qa.ini>. For an
example QA parameters file see Section 6.3.
| Parameter | Description |
| BADPIX_MAP | Maximum fraction of pixels allowed to be bad in the final map. |
| GOODRECEP | Minimum number of working receptors |
| TSYSBAD | Upper limit of T for raw time-series data. |
| FLAGTSYSBAD | Flag any receptor with FLAGTSYSBAD of data points with T TSYSBAD |
| TSYSMAX | Median T per receptor after flagging by FLAGTSYSBAD must be TSYSMAX |
| TSYSVAR | Maximum allowable receptor-to-receptor T variation |
| RMSVAR_RCP | Maximum allowable receptor-to-receptor RMS variation |
| RMSVAR_SPEC | The average RMS noise shall not vary by more than RMSVAR_SPEC from one end of a spectrum to the other. |
| RMSVAR_MAP | The RMS noise in the map over the region with uniform sampling shall not vary by more than RMSVAR_MAP from one pixel to the next. |
| RMSTSYSTOL | The RMS that is measured for each receptor should agree with the value expected from the system temperature, spectral resolution, and integration time to within RMSTOL. |
| RMSMEANTSYSTOL | Data with an RMS RMSMEANTSYSTOL% of the mean RMS will get masked out. |
| CALPEAKTOL | Observations of the spectral-line calibrators shall agree with their expected values for line peak intensity to within CALPEAKTOL. |
| CALINTTOL | Observations of the spectral-line calibrators shall agree with their expected values for integrated intensities to within CALINTTOL. |
| RESTOL | Remaining residuals after subtraction of the baseline shall be no larger than RESTOL on average. |
| RESCHAN12CO | Channels over which to average for residuals for a first line (CO here). |
| RESCHAN13CO | Channels over which to average for residuals for a second line (CO here). |
| RESTOL_SM | Remaining residuals should be no larger than RESTOL_SM on average over any four adjacent channels. |
| VELRES_12CO | Velocity resolution for the first line (CO here). |
| VELRES_13CO | Velocity resolution for the second line (CO here). |
