simulator.setlimits - Function

2.4.1 Set limits for observing
Description

Data are flagged for two conditions:

Below elevation limit
If either of the antennas point below the specified elevation limit then the data are flagged. The elevation is calculated correctly for antennas at different locations (such as occurs in VLBI).
Shadowing
If one antenna shadows another such that the fractional (geometric) blockage is greater than the specified limit then the data are flagged. No correction for blockage is made for shadowed but non-flagged points.

Arguments

Inputs

shadowlimit

allowed:

double

Default:

1e-6 1e-6

elevationlimit
Minimum elevation angle before flagging occurs

allowed:

any

Default:

variant 10deg

Returns
bool

[next] [prev] [prev-tail] [front] [up]
