msmetadata.antennastations - Function

1.3.2 Get the station names of the specified antennas.

Description

Get the station names of the specified antennas. If a specified antenna name is listed multiple times in the ANTENNA table, obsid is negative, and which is specified as an array of names, then the station associated with the largest ID for that antenna is returned. If obsid is nonnegative, returned stations are filtered based on that. If which is specified as a string (antenna name), then all the stations associated with that antenna are returned.

    # get all station names
    stations = msmd.antennastations(-1)
