Introduction

DISH is a collection of Glish scripts and clients which provide an environment within AIPS++ for single dish radioastronomy analysis.

The latest version of DISH merges development between the single dish and interferometric efforts in AIPS++. DISH is now a standard tool and may take advantage of the tool manager interface. DISH also has a new and much simplified Command Line Interface (CLI).

More information is available on DISH in the User Reference Manual and in the Getting Results with AIPS++ guide.

DISH may be accessed in two ways:

1.

Through the tool manager interface.

(a): Select on Packages, dish.
(b): Select on Modules, dish.
(c): Select on Tools, dish.
(d): Press create.
(e): Choose the toolname for the new DISH tool and press "Create".

2.

From the command line.

(a): include 'dish.g'
(b): mydish:=dish();

The default is to start the dish tool with the GUI interface as before. However, this may be over-ridden using a local .aipsrc value:

#dish.gui.auto:T
dish.gui.auto:F

In this release (v1.4), DISH may use AIPS++ flat tables (filled through the fits2table command) or MeasurementSets (either generated naturally or converted via sdfits2ms - see SDFITS description in Appendix C).
