NOTE 1: GRAVITY and MATISSE users should use the dedicated GRAVITY and MATISSE ETC for visibility calculations and their feasibility.

NOTE 2: The Shadowing in VisCalc is not up-to-date compared to the one used in GRAVITY and MATISSE ETCs.

NOTE 3: The baseline configurations in VisCalc are those valid up to P110. For the latest configurations, please refer to the VLTI Configurations Overview and to the GRAVITY and MATISSE ETCs.
