Abstract: This memo describes the software engineering and technical details of the design and implementation of the wvrgcal program and associated libraries. This program performs off-line correction of atmospheric phase fluctuations in ALMA observations, using the 183 GHz Water Vapour Radiometers (WVRs) installed on the ALMA 12 m dishes. The memo can be used as a guide for detailed study of the source code of the program for purposes of further development or maintenance.<br />Comment: 8 pages and 3 diagrams. Submitted as ALMA Memo #593. The source code for the software is available for download at http://www.mrao.cam.ac.uk/~bn204/alma/wvrsoft.html
