simulator.observe - Function

2.4.1 Observe a given configuration
Description

Observe a given source with a given spectral window for the specified times, including start, stop, integration, and gap times. The start and stop times are referenced to referencetime. Use either starttime/stoptime or startha/stopha. If the hour angles are specified, then the start and stop times are calculated such that the start time is later than the reference time, but less than one day later. The hour angles refer to the first source observed.
