Construct a simulator tool for
testing
Synopsis
simulatortester(filename, clname, size, stokes, coordinates)
Description
This creates a simulator tool that one can use for testing. A standard
MeasurementSet is created and then used to initialize simulator. The dataset
used is an observation of 3C273 at 8GHz using the C-configuration of
the VLA. It is part of the AIPS++distribution. A simple model
of 3C273 is transformed and filled into the MODEL_DATA column.

filename
Name of MS to create
Allowed:
String
Default:

'I'
coordinates
Coordinate system to use e.g. 'j2000,'gal'
Allowed:
String
Default:
'j2000'
Returns
simulator tool
Example
sim:=simulatortester(coordinates='gal',size=1024)
