Returns
void
Example
Keyword arguments:
sdfile -- name of input SD dataset
scanlist -- list of scan numbers to process
default: [] (use all scans)
example: [21,22,23,24]
this selection is in addition to field
and iflist
field -- selection string for selecting scans by name
default: ’’ (no name selection)
example: ’FLS3a*’
this selection is in addition to scanlist
and iflist
iflist -- list of IF id numbers to select
default: [] (use all IFs)
example: [15]
this selection is in addition to scanlist
and field
pollist -- list of polarization id numbers to select
default: [] (use all polarizations)
example: [1]
this selection is in addition to scanlist,
field, and iflist
maskflag -- list of mask regions to apply flag/unflag
default: [] (entire spectrum)
example: [[1000,3000],[5000,7000]]
flagmode -- flag mode
default: ’flag’
options: ’flag’,’unflag’,’restore’
in ’restore’ mode, a history of flagging is
displayed and current flag state is returned
outfile -- Name of output file
default: ’’ (<sdfile>_f)
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.
overwrite -- overwrite the output file if already exists
options: (bool) True,False
default: False
WARNING: if outform=’ASCII’, this parameter is ignored
plotlevel -- control for plotting of results
options: (int) 0=none, 1=some, 2=more, <0=hardcopy
default: 0 (no plotting)
example: plotlevel<0 as abs(plotlevel), e.g.
-1 => hardcopy of final plot (will be named
<outfile>_flag.eps)
WARNING: be careful plotting in fsotf mode!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Returns: Current values of maskflag for each spectrum as a list,
only if flagmode is set to ’restore’. Note that the
’restore’ mode refers scanlist, iflist, and pollist.
DESCRIPTION:
Task sdflag performs simple channel based flagging on spectra.
The flag regions in channels can be specified in maskflag. This
is not interactive flagging. If plotlevel>=1, the task asks
you if you really apply the flags before it is actually written
to the data with a plot indicating flagged regions.
The flags are not written to the current (input) datasets unless
outfile=’none’.
Please note that this task is still experimental.
