componentlist.simulate - Function
1.2.1 Add some simulated components to the list
Description
The simulate function adds simulated components to the list. The simulation
criterion is very simple, all the components added are identical! They are point
sources at the J2000 north pole with a flux in Stokes I of 1~Jy, and zero in the
other polarizations. The spectrum is constant. The ’set’ functions (eg. setflux,
setfreq) can be used to change these parameters to desired ones.
The howmany argument indicates how many components to append to the list.
Arguments
Inputs |
| ||
howmany |
| How many components to simulate, greater than zero
| |
| allowed: | int | |
| Default: | 1 |
|
log |
| Send a message to the logger
| |
| allowed: | bool |
|
| Default: | true |
|
bool
Example
cl.simulate(2)
cl.setflux(1, [2.78, 0, 0, 0]);
cl.rename(’test.cl’);
cl.close();
This example creates a componentlist with two components. The setflux function is used to
modify the second component. The list is then saved on disk.
I use short scripts like this a lot during testing.
