simulator.create - Function

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`
