Observe a given configuration

Synopsis
observe(sourcename, spwname, starttime, stoptime)

Description
Observe a given source with a given spectral window for the specified times, including start, stop, integration, and gap times. The start and stop times are referenced to referencetime. Use either starttime/stoptime or startha/stopha. If the hour angles are specified, then the start and stop times are calculated such that the start time is later than the reference time, but less than one day later. The hour angles refer to the first source observed.

Arguments

sourcename		Name of source or field (must be specified)
		Allowed:	String
		Default:	None
spwname		Unique user-supplied name for this spectral window
		Allowed:	String
		Default:	None
starttime		Start time referenced to referenceepoch
		Allowed:	Quantity
		Default:	'0s'
stoptime		Stop time referenced to referenceepoch
		Allowed:	Quantity
