2.2.7 Listing MS data (listvis)

The listvis task will print to the terminal (or file) listing of the data in your MS. The inputs are:

#  listvis :: List measurement set visibilities.
vis                 =         ’’        #  Name of input visibility file
options             =       ’ap’        #  List options: ap only
datacolumn          =     ’data’        #  Column to list: data, float_data, corrected, model,
                                        #   residual
field               =         ’’        #  Field names or index to be listed: ’’==>all
spw                 =        ’*’        #  Spectral window:channels: ’\*’==>all, spw=’1:5~57’
selectdata          =      False        #  Other data selection parameters
observation         =         ’’        #  Select by observation ID(s)
average             =         ’’        #  Averaging mode: ==>none (Not yet implemented)
showflags           =      False        #  Show flagged data (Not yet implemented)
pagerows            =         50        #  Rows per page
listfile            =         ’’        #  Output file
async               =      False        #  If true the taskname must be started using listvis(...)

For example:

Units of columns are: Date/Time(YYMMDD/HH:MM:SS UT), UVDist(wavelength), Phase(deg), UVW(m)
WEIGHT: 7
FIELD: 2
SPW: 0
Date/Time:                           RR:                 RL:                 LR:                 LL:
