ms.tosdfits - Function

Convert a single dish AIPS++ measurement set to a SDFITS file

Synopsis
tosdfits(fitsfile)

Arguments

fitsfile		Name of the new SDFITS file
		Allowed:	String

Description

This function turns an MS tool into a FITS file containing an SDFITS binary table. This uses the ms2sdfits program to do the conversion. It converts the entire underlying measurement set file even if the ms tool is the result of a selection. This may be changed in the future. The ms tool must consist of single dish data only. A brief description of SDFITS may be found in the dish users manual. Converting a measurement set into an SDFITS binary table will generally result in the loss of some information which can not be represented in an SDFITS binary table.

Example

- include 'ms.g'
- myms := ms('myfile.ms')         # open the MS
- myms.tosdfits("myfile.sdfits")  # write SDFITS file
