Member Description

VLAContinuumRecord()

The default constructor creates a unusable object. Use the attach function to turn an object constructed this way into a usable object.

VLAContinuumRecord(ByteSource& record, uInt offset)

Initialise this ContinuumRecord from the given record with the specified offset.

void attach(ByteSource& record, uInt offset)

Initialise this VLAContinuumRecord from the given BytesSource (which must contain a VLA logical record), and must be readable & seekable. The offset specifies where the record starts.

virtual Vector<Complex> data() const

returns the correlations for this baseline. This will be a Vector with four elements containing the AA, CC, AC & CA (or BB, DD, BD, DB) correlations (ie all four polarisations). The returned Vector has been scaled.

virtual void data(Array<Complex>& values) const

Returns the correlations for this baseline in the supplied Array. The supplied Array may have any number of dimensions, but all except one must have a length on 1. The axis that is not of length one must be the right length to hold all the data contained in the record. Alternatively the Array may contain no elements in which case it will be resized to a Vector of the correct length. The returned values have been scaled.

The returned Array has four elements containing the AA, CC, AC & CA (or BB, DD, BD, DB) correlations (ie all four polarisations).

virtual Vector<Bool> flags() const

returns the flags for the correlations for this baseline. The returned Vector will always have a length of four.

Vector<Float> variance() const

returns the variance of the correlations for this baseline. The returned Vector will always have a length of four.

virtual uInt scale() const

returns the scaling factor used to convert the internal data to the actual values.
