simulatortester - Constructor

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.

Arguments

`filename`	Name of MS to create
	`Allowed:`	`String`
	`Default:`	`3C273XC1.ms`
`clname`	Name of componentlist to create
	`Allowed:`	`String`
	`Default:`	`3C273XC1.cl`
`size`	Number of pixels on a side
	`Allowed:`	`Int`
	`Default:`	`128`
`stokes`	Stokes parameters to simulate (e.g. 'IQUV')
	`Allowed:`	`'I'\|'IV'\|'IQU'\|'IQUV'`
	`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)
sim.simulate(type='corrected', simulate='3C273XC1.dirty')
sim.close()
