Compute the model visibility for a specified source flux density


Synopsis
setjy(fieldid, spwid, fluxdensity, standard)


Description
Compute the model visibility for a specified source flux density, and insert into the MODEL_DATA column. The source flux density for a set of standard flux density reference sources may optionally be pre-computed, by setting the input flux density to -1 (the default). At present, these include 3C286, 3C48, 3C147, 3C138, and 1934-638. In this case, if the source is not in this set, an unpolarized flux density of 1 Jy will be assumed. Users may also specify standard='SOURCE' to use the model(s) in the SOURCE_MODEL column of the SOURCE subtable.



Arguments

fieldid in Field Id (1-relative)
Allowed: Int
Default: -1
spwid in Spectral Window Id. (1-relative)
Allowed: Int
Default: -1
fluxdensity in Specified flux density (I,Q,U,V) in Jy
Allowed: Vector of Doubles
Default: -1 (lookup the value; use 1.0 if not found)
standard in Flux density standard
Allowed: String:'Baars'|'Perley 90'|'Perley-Taylor 95'|'Perley-Taylor 99'|'SOURCE'



Returns
Bool


Example
imgr.setjy(fieldid=2, spwid=-1, fluxdensity=[2.6,0.2,0.3,0.5],standard='Baars')

Compute the model visibility for field id. 2 to the specified point-source (I,Q,U,V) for all spectral windows id.'s on the Baars flux density scale.
