0.1.45 importatca

Requires:

Synopsis
Import ATCA RPFITS file(s) to a measurement set

Description

Imports an arbitrary number of ATCA RPFITS format data sets into a casa measurement set. If more than one band is present, they will be put in the same measurement set but in a separate spectral window. The task will handle both old ATCA and new CABB (after April 2009) archive data.

Arguments


Inputs
files		Name of input ATCA RPFits file(s)
		allowed:	stringArray
		Default:
vis		Name of output visibility file (MeasurementSet)
		allowed:	string
		Default:
options		Processing options: birdie, reweight, noxycorr, fastmosaic, hires, noac (comma separated list)
		allowed:	string
		Default:
spw		Specify the spectral windows to use, default=all
		allowed:	intArray
		Default:	-1
nscans		Number of scans to skip followed by number of scans to read
		allowed:	intArray
		Default:	0,0
lowfreq	GHz	Lowest reference frequency to select
		allowed:	doubleGHz
		Default:	0.1
highfreq	GHz	Highest reference frequency to select
		allowed:	doubleGHz
		Default:	999
fields		List of field names to select
		allowed:	stringArray
		Default:
edge		Percentage of edge channels to flag. For combined zooms, this specifies the percentage for a single zoom window
		allowed:	double
		Default:	8

Example

      importatca([’2001-01-02_1*.C999’,’2001-01-03_0*.C999’],’c999.ms’,
      options=’birdie,reweight’,edge=10)
      Imports a number of ATCA RPFITS-format data sets into
      a casa measurement set. We are applying birdie flagging and lag spectrum reweighting
      (as approriate for old 33 channel continuum data) as well as flagging the 10% edge channels.
