Create the MS and its coordinates from scratch
Synopsis
create(newms, shadowlimit, elevationlimit, autocorrwt)
Description
Create the MS and its coordinates from descriptions of the array configuration
and the observational parameters (observing schedule, frequencies, feed models,
correlator setup, etc). No data is calculated, only the times, (u,v) coordinates,
shadowing information, etc.
The antenna configuration is specified with setconfig. The observed fields
are specified by invoking setfields one or more times.
Spectral window parameters are specified by invoking setspwindow
one or more times. Feed parameters are specified by invoking setfeed.
(Eventually, setfeed will be able to set imprefect feeds for individual antennas and
individual spectral windows.)
Arguments
