sd.scantable.set_restfreqs - Function

5.1.2 Set rest frequency
Description

Set or replace the restfrequency specified and if the ’freqs’ argument holds a scalar, then that rest frequency will be applied to all the selected data. If the ’freqs’ argument holds a vector, then it MUST be of equal or smaller length than the number of IFs (and the available restfrequencies will be replaced by this vector). In this case, *all* data have the restfrequency set per IF according to the corresponding value you give in the ’freqs’ vector. E.g. ’freqs=[1e9, 2e9]’ would mean IF 0 gets restfreq 1e9 and IF 1 gets restfreq 2e9.

You can also specify the frequencies via a linecatalog.

Note that, to do more sophisticate Restfrequency setting, e.g. on a source and IF basis, use scantable.set_selection() before using this function::

             # provided your scantable is called scan
             selection = sd.selector()
             selection.set_name("ORION*")
             selection.set_ifs([1])
             scan.set_selection(selection)
             scan.set_restfreqs(freqs=86.6e9)

Arguments


Inputs
freqs	List of rest frequency values or string identifiers
	allowed:	string
	Default:	None
unit	Unit for rest frequency
	allowed:	string
	Default:	’Hz’

Returns

Example

         scan = sd.scantable(’OrionS_rawACSmod_cal’)
         # set the given restfrequency for the all currently selected IFs
         scan.set_restfreqs(freqs=1.4e9)
         # set restfrequencies for the n IFs  (n > 1) in the order of the
         # list, i.e
         # IF0 -> 1.4e9, IF1 ->  1.41e9, IF3 -> 1.42e9
         # len(list_of_restfreqs) == nIF
         # for nIF == 1 the following will set multiple restfrequency for
         # that IF
         scan.set_restfreqs(freqs=[1.4e9, 1.41e9, 1.42e9])
         # set multiple restfrequencies per IF. as a list of lists where
         # the outer list has nIF elements, the inner s arbitrary
         scan.set_restfreqs(freqs=[[1.4e9, 1.41e9], [1.67e9]])
