2.2.4.2 Import using importfitsidi

Some uvfits data is written in the FITS-IDI standard. Those files can be imported into CASA with the importfitsidi task:

#  importfitsidi :: Convert a FITS-IDI file to a CASA visibility data set  
fitsidifile         =       [’’]        #  Name(s) of input FITS-IDI file(s)  
vis                 =         ’’        #  Name of output visibility file (MS)  
async               =      False        #  If true the taskname must be started using importfitsidi(...)

Example:

   importuvfits(fitsidifile=’NGC1300.fits’,vis=’NGC1300.ms’)
