Synopsis

This class converts a version 1 MeasurementSet to version 2. The keyword MS_VERSION tells the version. If not present it is 1. If it is found that the MS is already a version 2 one, nothing is done.

It is possible to do the conversion in place. If not, first a copy is made which is thereafter changed in place.
The conversion process does the following steps:

Create the newly required columns and keywords and fill them with new or existing data.
Convert the old way of defining measure info to the new TableMeasures way.
Rename obsolete columns by prefixing their names with _OBSOLETE_.

The constructor only keeps the names of the input and output MS. The actual conversion is done by the convert function.

Member Description

MS1ToMS2Converter (const String& ms2, const String& ms1, Bool inPlace)

Create the converter for the given output (ms2) and input (ms1) name. The input name has to be an MS version 1. If not, nothing will be done.
If inPlace==True, the ms2 name is ignored. In that case the ms is changed in place.
