Summary

A MeasurementSet is an AIPS++ Table containing data from a telescope.

This document describes the predefined columns and keywords (including subtables) of the MeasurementSet (MS). The predefined items include required and optional ones. In addition to the predefined columns, MeasurementSets can contain instrument specific columns, keywords or subtables. These additional items would only be accessed from instrument specific code.
