Description
Set one or more observed fields, including name, coordinates, calibration code.
Can be invoked multiple times for a complex observation.
Must be invoked at least once before
observe.
If the distance to the object is set then the phase term includes a
curvature for the near-field effect at the center of the image.

Example
mysim.setconfig(telescopename='VLA', x=xx, y=yy, z=zz, dishdiameter=diam,
mount='alt-az', antname='VLA',
coordsystem='local', referencelocation=dm.observatory('vla'));
mysim.setspwindow(spwname='XBAND', freq='8GHz', deltafreq='50MHz',

LL');
dir0 := dm.direction('B1950', '16h00m0.0', '50d0m0.000')
