simulator.corrupt - Function

2.4.1 Corrupt the data with visibility errors
Description

Add errors specified by the set functions (such as noise, gains, polarization leakage, bandpass, etc) to the synthesis data. The errors are applied to the MODEL_DATA, and written to the DATA and CORRECTED_DATA columns. Note that corrupt handles only visibility-plane effects, not image-plane effects such as pointing errors and voltage patterns, which get applied in predict.

NB: Note that simulator currently only supports specification of these errors via use of the setapply (i.e., existing cal tables, a la calibrater) and setnoise methods. The setgain, setbandpass, and setleakage methods are currently disabled. These methods will be re-activated in the near future. (2008Apr03 gmoellen)
