UV_SMOOTH

        [CLEAN\]UV_SMOOTH Nc [/ASYMMETRIC] [/FILE FileIn FileOut]


    Smooth  by NC channels a UV data set. UV_SMOOTH differs from UV_COMPRESS be-
    cause it keeps the original spectral sampling. The resulting UV data is thus
    oversampled by NC channels.

    Unless the /ASYMMETRIC option is present, the smoothing is symmetric, to en-
    sure that the spectral sampling is preserved. This is implicit  when  Nc  is
    odd,  but  for  even values of Nc, it is done by smoothing by Nc+1 channels,
    and giving the edge channels of the smoothing kernel a half-weight. The  ef-
    fective  bandwidth  of  each smoothed channel is still Nc times the original
    one.

    As a result, UV_SMOOTH 2 is equivalent to a Hanning smoothing.

    With no /FILE option, the current UV table obtained by READ UV is resampled.
    All further UV commands work on the "Resampled" UV table.   The  "Resampled"
    UV  table  is  a simple copy of the original one after a READ UV command, or
    after a UV_RESAMPLE or UV_COMPRESS commands with no  arguments  and  no  op-
    tions.

    With  the  /FILE option, the UV data is read from file FileIn and the resam-
    pled output is written in file FileOut.
