Example
This task write a UVFITS file, a general format data set used
to transfer data between different software systems. It is
written in floating point format. Many spectral windows can
be exported to UVFITS only if they have the same shape. For
transferral to the AIPS interferometric packages, multi-source
and combinesp options should be set to true.
Keyword arguments:
vis -- Name of input visibility file
default: none; example: vis=’ngc5921.ms’
fitsfile -- Name of output UV FITS file
default: none; example=’3C273XC1.fits’
datacolumn -- Visibility file data column
default: => ’corrected’; example: datacolumn=’model’
Options: ’data’ (raw),’corrected’,’model’,’weight’
field -- Select field using field id(s) or field name(s).
[run listobs to obtain the list id’s or names]
default: ’’=all fields
If field string is a non-negative integer, it is assumed a field index
otherwise, it is assumed a field name
field=’0~2’; field ids 0,1,2
field=’0,4,5~7’; field ids 0,4,5,6,7
field=’3C286,3C295’; field named 3C286 adn 3C295
field = ’3,4C*’; field id 3, all names starting with 4C
spw -- Select spectral window/channels
type ’help par.selection’ for more examples.
spw=’0~2,4’; spectral windows 0,1,2,4 (all channels)
spw=’<2’; spectral windows less than 2 (i.e. 0,1)
spw=’0:5~61’; spw 0, channels 5 to 61, INCLUSIVE
spw=’*:5~61’; all spw with channels 5 to 62
spw=’0,10,3:3~45’; spw 0,10 all channels, spw 3, channels 3 to 45.
spw=’0~2:2~6’; spw 0,1,2 with channels 2 through 6 in each.
spw=’0:0~10;15~60’; spectral window 0 with channels 0-10,15-60
NOTE ’;’ to separate channel selections
spw=’0:0~10^2,1:20~30^5’; spw 0, channels 0,2,4,6,8,10,
spw 1, channels 20,25,30
antenna -- Select data based on antenna/baseline
default: ’’ (all)
If antenna string is a non-negative integer, it is assumed
an antenna index
otherwise, it is assumed as an antenna name
antenna=’5&6’; baseline between antenna index 5 and index 6.
antenna=’VA05&VA06’; baseline between VLA antenna 5 and 6.
antenna=’5&6;7&8’; baseline 5-6 and 7-8
antenna=’5’; all baselines with antenna index 5
antenna=’05’; all baselines with antenna name ’05’, vla antenna
antenna=’5,6,10’; all baselines with antennas 5, 6 and 10
timerange -- Select data based on time range:
default = ’’ (all); examples,
timerange = ’YYYY/MM/DD/hh:mm:ss~YYYY/MM/DD/hh:mm:ss’
Note: if YYYY/MM/DD is missing dat defaults to first day in data set
timerange=’09:14:0~09:54:0’ picks 40 min on first day
timerange=’25:00:00~27:30:00’ picks 1 hr to 3 hr 30min on next day
timerange=’09:44:00’ data within one integration of time
timerange=’>10:24:00’ data after this time
nchan -- Number of channels to select (superceded by spw)
default: => -1 (all)
start -- Start channel (superceded by spw)
default => 0;
width -- Channel averaging width (value > 1 indicates averaging)
default =>1; example: width=3
output data will average channels in groups of three.
writesyscal -- Write GC and TY tables
default: => False; Not yet available
multisource -- Write in multi-source format
default: => True;
false if one source is selected
combinespw -- Combine all spectral windows at one time
default: => True;
all spectral windows must have same shape.
successful aips transferral must have default=True
writestation -- Write station name instead of antenna name
default: True;
async -- Run asynchronously
default = true; highly recommended.
