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

newms Name of the newly created MS
Allowed: Table
Default: ''
shadowlimit Maximum fraction of geometrically shadowed area before flagging occurs
Allowed: Double
Default: 1e-6
elevationlimit Minimum elevation angle before flagging occurs
Allowed: Quantity
Default: '10deg'
autocorrwt Weight to assign autocorrelations (0=none)
Allowed: Float
Default: 0.0
