 The raw data (in MBFITS format) are converted to CLASS format automatically. This is done using the method described in Winkel, Kraus, & Bach, //Unbiased flux calibration methods for spectral-line radio observations//,​ [[http://​adsabs.harvard.edu/​abs/​2012arXiv1203.0741W| A&A 540, A140, 2012]] (Section 3.4 and Section 4.5) - assuming a //constant system temperature//​ (Tsys) and //flat calibration signal// (Tcal). The latter is produced by a noise diode the power of which is in most cases directly fed into the waveguide within the receiver. //​Neglecting the frequency-dependence of Tsys and Tcal introduces a bias, especially for wide-band observations!//​ (For more information see Winkel, Kraus, & Bach 2012 where we also show ways to do it better.) The raw data (in MBFITS format) are converted to CLASS format automatically.
