"In this example, we are self-calibrating simulated full-polarization point-source visibility data. The putative observation (based on a real ALMA dataset) had 47 antennas in one spectral window, with four correlations in the circular basis. The data are corrupted by a systematic set of scalar multiplicative gain errors that are constant in time, frequency, and polarization. Gaussian noise at a typical scale (appropriate for the recorded bandwidth and integration time, and an SEFD of \\~8400 Jy). This example is perhaps atypical for self-cal in the sense that the data are not nominally calibrated to any degree, but since we can asumme a point source model, we can expect a good result. In this case, we are assuming a 3 Jy (total intensity) point source model, which was stored with the imported data. Since the gain errors affect all correlations in a systematic way, we can expect the calibration derived from the parallel hands to also properly calibrate the cross-hands, and thereby reveal the linear polarization of the point source (which we \"suspect\" to be 13%...)."
