Examples
To convert an ASAP (scantable) based format file into MeasurementSet format:
importasap(infile='mydata.asap',
outputvis='mydata.ms',
flagbackup=True,
overwrite=False,
parallel=False)
outputvis='mydata.ms',
flagbackup=True,
overwrite=False,
parallel=False)
By default, importasap preserves flags, will not overwrite any existing files with the output, and will not engage parallel processing in the conversion (which would otherwise make the conversion faster).
