Currently when running with ELECTRONICS_ANTENNA_CONSISTENCY=1 in-situ gain model files are read-in, but their amplitude information is overwritten by an on-the-fly gain model calculation. Since these gain model amplitudes depend upon the antenna model used, the current files need to be used very carefully. To improve this situation the following changes should be made:
- Write a standalone gain model phase read-in for ARA and PA stations (livetime config-independent).
- Remove the need to an in-situ gain model file for each livetime config on each station and relegate support for in-situ gain models to a
custom_electronics.txt file that is used if ELECTRONICS_ANTENNA_CONSISTENCY=0. This file will be supplied by the user.
- Ensure that when
ELECTRONICS_ANTENNA_CONSISTENCY=1 all necessary gain vectors are defined properly for the on-the-fly calculation (since right now these are initialized during gain file read-in and then overwritten).
