1.3.1.0 ms.writebufferflags

NRAO Home > CASA > CASA Toolkit Reference Manual

ms.writebufferflags - Function

1.3.1 DEPRECATED: Write the flags in the internal buffer back to the table.

Description

DEPRECATED Takes the flag and flag_row field in the internal buffer and writes them back to the FLAG and FLAG_ROW column in the currently selected table.

Arguments

Returns
bool

Example

       ms.open("3C273XC1.MS",False)
       ms.select({’antenna1’:[3]})
       ms.fillbuffer("PHASE")
       rec=ms.getbuffer()
       rec[’flag_row’][17]=True
       ms.setbufferflags(rec)
       ms.writebufferflags()

We open the MS for reading, select a subset and
read the data. We get the data into casapy, flag timeslot 17 and put
the modified flags back into the buffer. We then write the buffer
flags back to the table, causing the corresponding data to be
marked flagged on subsequent access.
