Detailed Description

Manages multiple flux calibrator observations.

Whereas pulsar and reference source (noise diode) are assumed to be observed around the same time, the flux calibrator observation may be observed at a different time; therefore, for each flux calibrator observation, a unique backend transformation instance is created that is disengaged from any temporal variations.
