Synopsis

The MeasurementSets module handles storage of telescope data in AIPS++ tables and defines functions to access the data. The MSFits module is an extra layer on top of MeasurementSets to convert a MeasurementSet to and from FITS. There are classes for three FITS formats:

• Conventional UVFits
• IDIFits
• Single Dish FITS

Motivation

To avoid that package ms depends on FITS (and cfitsio), all FITS-related MS code is put in a separate package.
