Detailed Description

CalTableDesc: Define the format of calibration tables.

Intended use:

Public interface

Prerequisite

• CalTable module

Etymology

From "Calibration table" and "descriptor".

Synopsis

CalTableDesc defines the format of calibration tables in terms of table descriptors casacore::TableDesc, as defined in the casacore::Table system. This is a base class and defines the overall calibration table structure. Specializations for both antenna-based (ViJones and SkyJones) and baseline-based (MJones) calibration tables are provided through inheritance. At present this set of classes returns the default calibration table descriptors for a given calibration table type.

Example

Motivation

This inheritance tree defines the format of all calibration table types, both antenna- and baseline-based, to provide a unified and consistent interface to their representation as aips++ tables. An overall structure common to all calibration tables is maintained as far as possible, with common column names throughout. This class tree is primarily used by the CalTable classes.
