READ UV

        [CLEAN\]READ UV File [STOKES]

    Read UV data from File. File can be in GILDAS or UVFITS format.

    The STOKES keyword is ignored for GILDAS format.

    For  File  in  UVFITS  format, the optional keyword STOKES specifies how the
    Stokes parameters are handled. If present, all stokes parameters are stored.

    If the STOKES keyword is not mentionned, READ preserves all  Stokes  parame-
    ters when 4 Stokes are in the data, but automatically reduces to unpolarized
    data  (Stokes  NONE,  see HELP STOKES) when only 1 or 2 Stokes parameter are
    present.

    UVFITS format files can also be converted to UV Tables in  the  GILDAS  data
    format  using the "@ fits_to_uvt" script, which ignores Stokes parameters by
    default (only retaining Stokes I or equivalent).
