18.23.9 /RANGE

[CLEAN\]READ Buffer File /RANGE Min Max Type

Load only the channels between the First and Last defined by Min Max and Type. Type can be CHANNEL, VELOCITY or FREQUENCY. If the Data cube has no Frequency/Velocity axis, only CHANNEL is allowed.

For type CHANNEL, Min and Max indicate offsets from Channel 1 and Channel Nchan (the number of channels in the data set). Thus Max can be negative: it then indicates Last = Nchan-Max. Also Min=0 and Max=0 implies loading all the channels.

The /RANGE option is not allowed for FITS files.

For UV tables with more than 1 Stokes parameter, which are **NOT** fully supported by IMAGER, the meaning of "channel" is ambiguous.
