Abstract:	We summarize the general approach adopted for the calibration of millimeter interferometer data from the BIMA telescope using AIPS++ and illustrate the use of the relevant software tools. In particular, we will discuss flagging, phase calibration, flux calibration, and polarization calibration, and we will show how we take advantage of the unique capabilities of AIPS++ to meet the special needs of BIMA data. We will show how BIMA calibration tools can be used to hide some of the complexity of the processes while still allowing access to specialized variations if desired. We will illustrate how these tools are pipelined together for end-to-end processing both within the BIMA Image Pipeline and on the user's desktop. Finally, we will present a comparison of data calibrated in MIRIAD and AIPS++.
