Returns
void
Example
Keyword arguments:
sdfilelist -- list of names of input SD dataset
telescopeparm -- the telescope characteristics
options: (str) name or (list) list of gain info
default: ’’ (none set)
example: if telescopeparm=’’, it tries to get the telescope
name from the data.
Full antenna parameters (diameter,ap.eff.) known
to ASAP are
’ATPKSMB’, ’ATPKSHOH’, ’ATMOPRA’, ’DSS-43’,
’CEDUNA’,’HOBART’ and ’GBT’.
telescopeparm=[104.9,0.43] diameter(m), ap.eff.
telescopeparm=[0.743] gain in Jy/K
telescopeparm=’FIX’ to change default fluxunit
see description below
fluxunit -- units for line flux
options: ’K’,’Jy’,’’
default: ’’ (keep current fluxunit of the first data in the sdfilelist)
specunit -- units for spectral axis
options: (str) ’channel’,’km/s’,’GHz’,’MHz’,’kHz’,’Hz’
default: ’’ (=current)
example: this will be the units for masklist
frame -- frequency frame for spectral axis
options: (str) ’LSRK’,’REST’,’TOPO’,’LSRD’,’BARY’,
’GEO’,’GALACTO’,’LGROUP’,’CMB’
default: currently set frame in scantable
WARNING: frame=’REST’ not yet implemented
doppler -- doppler mode
options: (str) ’RADIO’,’OPTICAL’,’Z’,’BETA’,’GAMMA’
default: currently set doppler in scantable
scanaverage -- average integrations within scans
options: (bool) True,False
default: False
example: if True, this happens in read-in
For GBT, set False!
timeaverage -- average times for multiple scan cycles
options: (bool) True,False
default: False
example: if True, this happens after calibration
polaverage -- average polarizations
options: (bool) True,False
default: False
outfile -- Name of output file
default: ’’ (scantable)
example:
outform -- format of output file
options: ’ASCII’,’SDFITS’,’MS’,’ASAP’
default: ’ASAP’
example: the ASAP format is easiest for further sd
processing; use MS for CASA imaging.
If ASCII, then will append some stuff to
the outfile name
overwrite -- overwrite the output file if already exists
options: (bool) True,False
default: False
WARNING: if outform=’ASCII’, this parameter is ignored
DESCRIPTION:
Task sdcoadd performs co-add multiple single dish spectral data given by
a list of spectral data file names in any of the following formats,
ASAP, MS2,SDFITS, and ASCII.
The units of line flux, the units of spectral axis, frame, and doppler
are assumed to be those of the first one in the sdfilelist if not
specified.
timaverage and polaverage are used to perform time
and polarization averaging over scans on the co-added scantable before
saving to a file on disk.
