			antnamescheme = 'old'
	)

Convert a UVFITS file to a CASA visibility data set
Convert a UVFITS file to a CASA visibility data set:

Keyword arguments:
fitsfile -- Name of input UV FITS file
        default = none; example='3C273XC1.fits'
vis -- Name of output visibility file (MS)
        default = none; example: vis='3C273XC1.ms'
antnamescheme -- Naming scheme for VLA/JVLA/CARMA antennas
        default = old;
          old: Antenna name is a number, '04'
               This option exists for backwards compatibility
               but can lead to ambiguous results when antenna
               indices are used for data selection.
          new: Antenna name is not a number, e.g., 'VA04' or 'EA04'
               With this scheme, data selection via
               antenna names and indices is non-ambiguous.
async --  Run asynchronously
       default = false; do not run asychronously

Note: Don't forget to flag autocorrections using
   taskname flagdata, autocorr = true
