This section describes how to reduce Hydra Cal data into .cal files and then into an .scal file. Cal files just give the system and cal counts on a given patch of sky. scal files give the conversion factor between the cal and Jy. When reducing pulsar observations the software requires an observation of Hydra and a calibration near the pulsar observation. ... This should create a .cal file and move it into $calpool (the directory pointed to by the calpool environment variable). ...
