8.2.1.12 sdmath
expr -- Mathematical expression using scantables
varlist -- Dictionary of variables in expr and their values.
Keys must be coincide with variables used in expr.
Values are substituted in each value in expr.
antenna -- antenna name or id (only effective for MS input).
fluxunit -- units for line flux
options: ’K’,’Jy’,’’
default: ’’ (keep current fluxunit)
WARNING: For GBT data, see description below.
>>> fluxunit expandable parameter
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’. For GBT, it fixes default fluxunit
to ’K’ first then convert to a new fluxunit.
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
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
scanlist -- list of scan numbers to process
default: [] (use all scans)
example: [21,22,23,24]
this selection is in addition to field, iflist, and pollist
field -- selection string for selecting scans by name
default: ’’ (no name selection)
example: ’FLS3a*’
this selection is in addition to scanlist, iflist, and pollist
iflist -- list of IF id numbers to select
default: [] (use all IFs)
example: [15]
this selection is in addition to scanlist, field, and pollist
pollist -- list of polarization id numbers to select
default: [] (use all polarizations)
example: [1]
this selection is in addition to scanlist, field, and iflist
outfile -- Name of output file
default: ’’ (<infile>_cal)
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 sdmath executes a mathematical expression for single dish spectra. The spectral data file can be any of the formats supported by ASAP (scantable, MS, rpfits, and SDFITS). In the expression, these file names should be put inside of single or double quotes. You can use variables in the expression. If you want to use, you must define varlist dictionary. Name of variables should be simple, e.g. V0, V1, etc., to avoid unexpected error. Keys of varlist must be name of variables that you used in the expression, and their values will be substituted for variables in the expression. Allowed type for value is numerical values, one- or two-dimensional lists (either Python list or numpy.ndarray), and filename strings that indicate spectral data or ASCII text, which is space-separated list of numerical values consisting of adequate number of rows and columns.
The fluxunit, specunit, and frame can be set, otherwise, the current settings of the first spectral data in the expression are used. Other selections (e.g. scan No, IF, Pol) also apply to all the spectral data in the expression, so if any of the data are not selected, the task will produce no output.
See the sdcal description for note on GBT raw SDFITS format data.
Example:
expr=’("orion_on_data.asap"-"orion_off_data.asap")/"orion_off_data.asap"
outfile=’orion_cal.asap’
sdmath()
# do on-off/off calculation using varlist
expr=’V0/V1-V2’
varlist[’V0’]=’orion_on_data.asap’
varlist[’V1’]=’orion_off_data.asap’
varlist[’V2’]=1.0
outfile=’orion_cal.asap’
sdmath()
# interpretation of ASCII file value for varlist
If the contents of input ASCII file is shown as,
0.5 0.3 0.2
1.0 0.2 0.9
it is interpreted as a list, [[0.5,0.3,0.2],[1.0,0.2,0.9]].
