| |<step>.antennaconstraint|list|[]|A list of lists specifying groups of antennas that are to be constrained to have the same solution. Example: "[ [CS002HBA0,CS002HBA1],[CS003HBA0,CS003HBA1] ]" will keep the solutions of CS002HBA0 and 1 the same, and the same for CS003.| | |<step>.antennaconstraint|list|[]|A list of lists specifying groups of antennas that are to be constrained to have the same solution.

When unequal to 0, will constrain the solutions to be smooth over frequency by convolving the solutions with a kernel of the given size (bandwidth). The default kernel is a Gaussian kernel, and the kernel size parameter is the 3 sigma point where the kernel is cut off.| | |<step>.smoothnessconstraint|double|0|Kernel size in Hz.
