62 // MSSelector's main function is selection of data from a MeasurementSet
63 // </etymology>
64 //
65 // <synopsis>
66 // This class is used to select and retrieve data from a MeasurementSet.
67 // It allows selections on e.g., time, field, spectral window (all row based),
68 // but also on channel and polarization (within a row). It can optionally
69 // do polarization conversion, spectral averaging and time averaging on the
70 // data retrieved and allows modified data to be written back to the Table.
71 // This class also provides the DO interface to the MS Iterator.
72 // The ms DO uses this class to allow these operations to be done from glish.
73 //
74 // <example> <srcblock>
75 // MSSelector msSelector(myMS);
76 // // select data desc Id 1
77 // msSelector.initSelection(1);
78 // Vector<String> items(3);
79 // // fill in some fields
80 // items(0)="field_id";
81 // items(1)="time";
82 // items(2)="num_chan";
83 // // get the range of values for the items specified
84 // MSRange msRange(msSelector.selectedTable(),msSelector.spectralWindow());
85 // Record range=msRange.range(items);
86 // //.. change the ranges as needed
87 // // now select with the new range
88 // msSelector.select(range);
89 // Int nchan=10, start=3, width=1, incr=2;
90 // msSelector.selectChannel(nchan,start,width,incr)
91 // // get out some data
92 // Vector<String> dataItems(3);
93 // dataItems(0)="data";
94 // dataItems(1)="antenna1";
95 // dataItems(2)="antenna2";
96 // Record dataRec=msSelector.getData(items);

100 // <motivation>
101 // Selection from an MS is needed in various places. It makes sense to
102 // provide a uniform interface for MS selection.
