ms.open - Function

1.3.1 Attach the ms tool to a measurement set table

Description

Use this function when you have detached (using the close function) the ms tool from a measurement set table and wish to reattach to another measurement set table.

If check=true, additional referential integrity checks on the MS are run. If any of these fail, an exception is thrown and the MS is not open (since it is not a valid MS).
