imagerpositiontest.make_default_cl

Make the default simulated component list.

Synopsis make_default_cl(clname, frequency, epoch, nsources, phasecenter, fluxmin, fluxmax, minsep)

Description Make the default simulated component list. It's usually a good idea just to let dotests() do this, but if you want some more rope, here it is....

Arguments

`clname`	The name of the componentlist table that will be written to disk
	`Allowed:`	`String (any valid file name)`
	`Default:`	`'dummy.cl'`
`frequency`	The reference frequency of the component list
	`Allowed:`	`String (frequency expressed as a quantity)`
	`Default:`	`unset (will use the user-specified frequency from set_sim_parms() or the tool's default frequency)`
`epoch`	The epoch of the positions
	`Allowed:`	`String (any recognized epoch)`
	`Default:`	`'J2000'`
`nsources`	The number of components to create
	`Allowed:`	`Integer > 0`
	`Default:`	`4`
`phasecenter`	The phasecenter
	`Allowed:`	`Direction`
	`Default:`	`unset (uses the user specified phase center from set_sim_parms() or the tool's default phase center`
`fluxmin`	The minimum flux a component can have in Jy
	`Allowed:`	`Float > 0`
	`Default:`	`3`
`fluxmax`	The maximum flux a component can have in Jy
	`Allowed:`	`Float => minflux`
	`Default:`	`10`
`minsep`	The minimum separation between components in arcsec
	`Allowed:`	`Float => 0`
	`Default:`	`5`

Returns T or fail

Example
