attach this object to a new FITS file. If there are problems with the file, the return value is False and appropriate warnings are sent to the logger. The resulting object is not attached to any file.
Is this object attached to a FITS file. This base class is never attached to a file.
The name of the attached FITS file. Returns an empty string if it is not attached.
The position of the antenna.
The requested rest frequency
The requested doppler tolerance in Hz
Get values from the LO1TABLE at the specified time (UTC) - or the first row before that time if there is not a row near that time.
Telescope pointing direction.
Get values from the LO1TABLE at the specified time (UTC) - or the first row before that time if there is not a row near that time.
lo1freq, this also requires a state. The appropriate offset for that state is from the LO1STATE table and is added to the frequency from the LO1TABLE. If that state isn't found, an offset of 0.0 is used.
Get values from the LO1TABLE at the specified time (UTC) - or the first row before that time if there is not a row near that time.
radial velocity of the reference frame wrt the observer
Get values from the LO1TABLE at the specified time (UTC) - or the first row before that time if there is not a row near that time.
radial velociy of the source wrt the observer
the SOUVEL binary table
the STATE table used here
The DMJD column
Are there non-zero offsets (implies frequency switching)
Return the first LO1 setting found here plus any state offset from STATE table, one value per state. Also set is the factor which, when multiplied by the TOPO centric frequencies gives the reference frame frequencies corresponding to the the VELOCITY at the same time as the returned LO1 setting. The desired reference frame, velocity definition, and source velocity in the reference frame and definition are set.
initialize with default, unattached values
these functions do the appropriate thing, but do not verify that FITSTable is set to the appropriate extension.
sets itslo1Row to the appropriate row in the lo1 table where the DMJD value is near or just prior to the requested time.
