def task_importuvfits.importuvfits	(		fitsfile,
			vis,
			antnamescheme = None
	)

Convert a UVFITS file to a CASA visibility data set (MS):

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, '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
