Note that in its current incarnation CASA is designed to support EVLA, ALMA, and VLA data, as well as single dish data from ALMA as well as Nobeyama. Data from other telescopes, be it single dish or interferometers can be imported from uvfits, FITS-IDI , or sdfits formats into measurements sets (ms) or scantables in CASA. Given the variety of non-standard fits formats, we cannot guarantee that CASA will fully support data from all telescopes. However, efforts are made to support data formats from other facilities.
