msplot.avedata - Function

1.3.3 Specify which data is to be averaged in the MS (or selected MS).

Description

No description here at the moment. This method is under active development and is changing frequently. Documentation will be provided when development settles down.

Arguments


Inputs
chanavemode	Indicate what if any averaging should be done on the selected channels.The channel selection and averaging is done via the spw parameter. Valid values are: none: No averaging, default value step: Plot every nth point scalarstep: incoherent average of every n points vectorstep: coherent average of every n points scalarchunk: incoherent average of blocks with n points vectorchunk: coherent average of blocks with n points
	allowed:	string
	Default:	none
corravemode	Indicate what if any averaging should be done on the selected correlations. See chanavemode for a detailed description of the valid values. Valid values are: none, step, scalarstep, vectorstep, scalarchunk, or vectorchunk
	allowed:	string
	Default:	none
datacolumn	Indicate the visibility data to be averaged. Valid values are: DATA CORRECTEDDATA MODELDATA
	allowed:	string
	Default:	DATA
averagemode	Indicate the mode for channel and/or time averaging. Valid values are: vector scalar
	allowed:	string
	Default:	vector
averagechan	Indicate the number of channels to average. The default value of 1 means no channel averaging.
	allowed:	string
	Default:	1
averagetime	Indicate the length of time interval to average. Valid values are double values of time in seconds. The default value 0 means no time averaging.
	allowed:	string
	Default:	0
averageflagged	Indicate either flagged or unflagged data to average.
	allowed:	bool
	Default:	false
averagescan	Indicate whether time averaging cross scan boundaries.
	allowed:	bool
	Default:	false
averagebl	Indicate whether averaging cross baseline boundaries.
	allowed:	bool
	Default:	false
averagearray	Indicate whether averaging cross array boundaries.
	allowed:	bool
	Default:	false
averagechanid	Indicate whether using averaged channel id or not.
	allowed:	bool
	Default:	false
averagevel	Indicate whether calculating averaged velocity id or not.
	allowed:	bool
	Default:	false

Returns
bool

Example

# create a msplot tool and set the subset data for plotting.
mp.open( msname=’./data/3C273XC1.ms’);

# TO COME
mp.average( ??? )
