        Parameters
        ----------
        ref_channels : list of str | None
            The names of the channels to use to construct the reference. If

    Notes

    This function changes magnetometer coil types 3022 (T1: SQ20483N) and
    3023 (T2: SQ20483-A) to 3024 (T3: SQ20950N) in the channel definition
    records in the info structure.

    Neuromag Vectorview systems can contain magnetometers with two
    different coil sizes (3022 and 3023 vs. 3024). The systems
    incorporating coils of type 3024 were introduced last and are used at
    the majority of MEG sites. At some sites with 3024 magnetometers,
    the data files have still defined the magnetometers to be of type
    3022 to ensure compatibility with older versions of Neuromag software.
    In the MNE software as well as in the present version of Neuromag
    software coil type 3024 is fully supported. Therefore, it is now safe
    to upgrade the data files to use the true coil type.

    .. note:: The effect of the difference between the coil sizes on the
              current estimates computed by the MNE software is very small.
              Therefore the use of mne_fix_mag_coil_types is not mandatory.
