miriadtoms - Function



Package bima
Module mirfiller


fill a measurement set from a Miriad dataset


Synopsis
miriadtoms(msfile, mirfile, defpass, verbose)


Description
This global function provides a one-step method for filling Miriad data in the most typical circumstances, such as with simple raw BIMA data or calibrated BIMA data. If one needs to take control of the data selection, create several measurement sets from a single miriad dataset, or set special loading options, one should create a mirfiller tool.



Arguments

msfile   the output measurement set name
mirfile   the input Miriad dataset name
defpass   a string indicating the window passing mode to use. This mode affects the which kinds of windows get selected.
    Allowed: 'default' - let mirfiller determine which mode to use based on what is found in the data; 'rawbima' - use a default appropriate for uncalibrated BIMA data: pass all spectral line windows and both side band averages but no window averages; 'calbima' - use a default appropriate for calibrated data: pass all spectral line windows but no wideband averages; 'all' - pass all windows and wideband channels.
    Default: 'default'
verbose   if true, send lots of messages to the logger. A summary of the input miriad dataset will be printed, and filling will be done in verbose mode.
    Default: F
