CASA UI
  • inp 'taskname' -- see current parameter values
  • parameter = value -- set a parameter to a value; this will be picked up by any tasks which use this value.
  • save 'taskname' -- save taskname's parameters to taskname.saved in local directory (Note: you can also specify the file) as in:
    • save 'taskname', 'thisfile.saved'
  • execfile 'taskname.saved' -- restores the task's parameters to the saved values.
  • In action - NGC5921 end-to-end script
  • Meet the new viewer
  • Meet the new table browser
Needed

  • Distribution mechanisms
CHUG Effort

  • priority task implementation (e.g., image analysis)
  • Cookbook review
  • Parameter dictionary review
  • SSG - patch cycle of two weeks - re-release/distribute with bug fixes
