Antenna configuration of ACA 7-m array [''|'cycle1'|'i'|'ns']
Available configurations are:
* '' (default) : automatically defines based on antennalist. 
 If antennalist is Cycle-1 configuration, acaconfig='cycle1'.
 Otherwise, acaconfig='i'
* 'cycle1' : Cycle-1 ACA-7m configuration. Uses 'aca_cycle1.cfg'.
* 'i' : Normal ACA configuration in full operation. Uses 'aca.i.cfg'.
* 'ns': North-South extended configuration in full operation. Uses 'aca.ns.cfg'.

Definition at line 4 of file parameter_dictionary.py.

Ratio of the total observation time of ACA relative to that of 12m array.
Set 0 for no ACA observation. 
For Cycle-1 with ACA, set acaratio = 3.

Setting of the time-dependent interpolation scheme when applying calibration solutions. 

The options are:
'nearest' -  calibrate each datum with the calibration value nearest in time.
'linear' - calibrate each datum with calibration phases and amplitudes linearly interpolated 
  from neighboring (in time) values. In the case of phase, this mode will assume that phase 
  jumps greater than 180 degrees between neighboring points indicate a cycle slip, and the 
  interpolated value will follow this change in cycle accordingly.
'aipslin' - emulate the interpolation mode used in classic AIPS, i.e., linearly interpolated 
  amplitudes, with phases derived from interpolation of the complex calibration values. While
  this method avoids having to track cycle slips (which is unstable for solutions with very 
  low SNR), it will yield a phase interpolation which becomes increasingly non-linear as the 
  spanned phase difference increases. The non-linearity mimics the behavior of 
  interp='nearest' as the spanned phase difference approaches 180 degrees (the phase of the 
  interpolated complex calibration value initially changes very slowly, then rapidly jumps 
  to the second value at the midpoint of the interval). 

If the uncalibrated phase is changing rapidly, a 'nearest' interpolation is not desirable.
Usually, interp='linear' is the best choice.

    In the image analysis tasks tool methods and tasks, a

    Expression, which may be mask filename. The full
    description of the syntax can be found at
            http://www.astron.nl/aips++/docs/notes/223/node11.html,
            eg

        mask='myimage>0.5'
    or 2. an image containing numerical valued pixels,
    in which case pixels values >= 0.5 are masked True

refspwmap -- Vector of spectral windows enablings scaling across spectral windows
               default: [-1]==> none.
               Example with 4 spectral windows: if the reference fields were observed only in spw=1 & 3,
               and the transfer fields were observed in all 4 spws (0,1,2,3), specify refspwmap=[1,1,3,3].
               This will ensure that transfer fields observed in spws 0,1,2,3 will be referenced to
               reference field data only in spw 1 or 3.  Pray you don't have to do this.

             Region over which to carry out the operation. For ia tool methods, this is usually specified
             as a python dictionary returned from an rg tool method (rg.box(), rg.fromtextfile() etc).
             In image analysis tasks, the region can be specified in one of several ways:
               (a) Using the CASA region format
    (http://casaguides.nrao.edu/index.php?title=CASA_Region_Format)
    Example : region='box [ [ 100pix , 130pix] , [120pix, 150pix ] ]'
       region='circle [ [ 120pix , 40pix] ,6pix ]'
       region='circle[[19h58m52.7s,+40d42m06.04s ], 30.0arcsec]'
   Multiple regions may be specified as a list of pixel ranges.
               (b) Filename with cleanbox shapes defined using the CASA region format.
   Example: region='myregion.txt'
     The file 'myregion.txt' contains : 
          box [ [ 100pix , 130pix ] , [ 120pix, 150pix ] ]
          circle [ [ 150pix , 150pix] ,10pix ]
          rotbox [ [ 60pix , 50pix ] , [ 30pix , 30pix ] , 30deg ]
               (c) Filename for region in binary format (e.g. from viewer or rg.tofile()).
   Example: region='myregion.rgn'

selectdata()
CASA selectdata syntax (March 13, 2008):

In CASA, there is a common data selection syntax that is used for the all
tasks that need a specific subset of the data from visibility data (measurement
set).  These are:

        field:  the selection of names associated with a source or mosaic group.
        spw:    the selection of spectral windows and channels associated with
 all sources specified by field
        selectdata: The subset of other parameters which may be needed for the
 appropriate selection of data.
           
The field and spw parameters are always visible when displaying the input parameters,
but the additional parameters are only visible when <selectdata = true>.
           
The input and help file documentation for each of the tasks should provide an adequate
description of the data selection syntax needed to process the appopriate data for
most applications.  However, the data selection capabilities are powerful and still
evolving, hence a full description of the syntax is needed, and given below.
           
All of the parameter values must be placed within quotes since they are formally
strings, even though they often represent integers.  The string property allows a
richer set of parameter usage.  The field and antenna parameters can be either the
field_id or antenna_id (the array index used in CASA for this parameter) or the actual
names of the field or antenna.   For these two parameters, if the string is a
non-negative integer, it is interpreted as an array index.  Otherwise, it is interpreted
as the name.  REMEMBER, CASA INDICES START WITH 0.  Illegal strings are ',',';','"','/'.
           
Execute <inp='plotxy'>, for example, to determine the parameters of the visibility data.
           
field -- The field names (sources) processed by the task or tool:
           
        field = ''             data for all field_ids
        field = '1'            data for field_id = 1
        field = 'P1151+3435'   data for field P1151+3435
        field = '2~4'          data for field_ids 2,3,4
        field = '2,3,4'        data for field_ids 2,3,4
        field = 'P11*,3,4~6'   data for field_ids 3,4,5,6 and any source name
                beginning with P11
        field = '*11,8'        data for field_id 8 and any source ending with 11
           
spw -- The spectral window/channel selection for all fields to be processed:
           
        spw = '0'              spectral window_id=0, all channels
        spw = '0:0~63'         sp id=0, channels 0 to 63, INCLUSIVE.

                spw = ' :3~64' will NOT work.
        spw = '*:0;60~63'      channel 0 and channels 60,61,62,63 for all IFs 
                ';' needed to separate different channel ranges in one spw

                sp id=0, channel 34; sp id=2, channels 10,11,12;
                sp ids 3 and 4, channels 0 through 33, inclusive.
           
       There is also a skipping parameter, denoted by '^'
           
        spw = '0:0~14^3'       sp id=0, every third channel in 0 to 14
                   i.e. channels 0,3,6,9,12

selectdata = true          will open some or all of the following parameters:
           
antenna -- The antennas and/or baselines for all fields/spw to be processed:
           
        NOTE:  Some tasks require specific antennas, some tasks require specific
 baselines.  See help for each task.
        NOTE:  Antennas can be designated by index or by antenna name depending on
 how the data were written into CASA.
           
        antenna-oriented syntax:
        antenna = ''               all antennas and (of course) baselines
        antenna = '0,2~18'         baselines that contain antenna indices 0, or 2 thru 18.

                      associated with 27.
           
timerange -- The time range to be processed:
           
        The time syntax is   T = 'YYYY/MM/DD/HH:MM:SS.FF'
        Most applications will use a time range such as:
           
        timerange = 'T0~T1'                 timer range between T0 and T1
        timerange = '2007/5/3/5:44:13.33 ~ 2007/5/3/6:44:13.33'
        timerange = '5:44:13.33 ~ 6:44:13.33'  same as above if the earliest visibility
                             data point is on day 2007/5/3
           
        timerange = '5:44:13.33 + 0:2:0'    Time from 5:44:13.33 to 2 min later
        timerange = '>6:12:20.0'            Time after 6:12:20
        timerange = '<8:12:20.0'            Time before 8:12:20 (on data of first data point)

This parameter is used to indicate how solutions derived from different
spectral windows should be applied to other spectral windows. Nominally data
in each spectral window will be corrected by solutions derived from the same
spectral window. This is the default behavior of spwmap, i.e., if spwmap is
not specified, data will be corrected by solutions from the same spectral window.
Otherwise, spwmap[j]=i causes soutions derived from the i-th spectral window
to be used to correct the j-th spectral window. For example, if bandpass solutions
are available for spectral windows 1 and 3, and it is desired that these be 
applied to spws 2 and 4 (as well as 1 and 3), use spwmap=[1,1,3,3].

    [100, 200, 10] and the input mask has shape [100, 200, 1] and stretch
    is true, the mask will be stretched along the third dimension to shape
    [100, 200, 10]. However if the mask is shape [100, 200, 2], stretching
    is not possible and an error will result.

  with the present execution placing the plot in location n
  n = 1,..., xy, in order upper left to right, then down.  An
  example is the plotting of four fields on one frame

Normalize the assembled spectral data, in a per baseline manner. If visnorm=True is
used, this will have the effect of removing any non-frequency dependent closure errors 
(e.g., as caused by source structure, or introduced by the instrument) from the data,
and should be used with caution. When visnorm=False is used, closure errors in the data
(as supplied to the solver) may be visible in the form of offsets between the data and
solutions. For bandpass calibration, this is usually okay, as the shape of the bandpass
is the most important aspect of the solution.
