Detailed Description

MSSelector specifies selections on a MeasurementSet.

Intended use:

Public interface

Review Status

Date Reviewed:: yyyy/mm/dd

Prerequisite

Etymology

MSSelector's main function is selection of data from a MeasurementSet

Synopsis

This class is used to select and retrieve data from a MeasurementSet. It allows selections on e.g., time, field, spectral window (all row based), but also on channel and polarization (within a row). It can optionally do polarization conversion, spectral averaging and time averaging on the data retrieved and allows modified data to be written back to the Table. This class also provides the DO interface to the MS Iterator. The ms DO uses this class to allow these operations to be done from glish.

Example

MSSelector msSelector(myMS);
// select data desc Id 1
msSelector.initSelection(1);
Vector<String> items(3); 
// fill in some fields
items(0)="field_id";
items(1)="time";
items(2)="num_chan";
// get the range of values for the items specified
MSRange msRange(msSelector.selectedTable(),msSelector.spectralWindow());
Record range=msRange.range(items);
//.. change the ranges as needed
// now select with the new range
msSelector.select(range);
Int nchan=10, start=3, width=1, incr=2;
msSelector.selectChannel(nchan,start,width,incr)
// get out some data
Vector<String> dataItems(3);
dataItems(0)="data";
dataItems(1)="antenna1";
dataItems(2)="antenna2";
Record dataRec=msSelector.getData(items);

Motivation

Selection from an MS is needed in various places. It makes sense to provide a uniform interface for MS selection.

Thrown Exceptions

To Do

provide access to all other columns in the MS?

Record casacore::MSSelector::getData	(	const Vector< String > &	items,
		Bool	ifrAxis,
		Int	ifrAxisGap = `0`,
		Int	inc = `1`,
		Bool	average = `False`,
		Bool	oneBased = `False`
	)

Return the data for the items requested, all returned values will be arrays, the last dimension of these is the table row number.

The data arrays are normally 3D with axes: polarization, frequency, row. If ifrAxis is set to True, the data arrays returned will be 4D, with the data being split out along an extra interferometer axis, the axes will be: polarization, frequency, interferometer and time. Missing interferometers will be marked flagged. The order of the interferometers is that specified by the last select call. Add a (flagged) gap in the data at every antenna1 change if ifrAxisGap>0. Use inc > 1 to return data from every inc'th row. Use average=True to vector average the data along the row or time axis taking the weights column into account (use selectChannel to average channels together as well). Note that different interferometers will be averaged together if ifrAxis is False. Correct for one-based indexing if oneBased is True.

Array<Float> casacore::MSSelector::getWeight	(	const ArrayColumn< Float > &	wtCol,
		Bool	sigma = `False`
	)		const

protected

get the weight, set sigma=True when retrieving sigma's

Bool casacore::MSSelector::initSelection	(	const Vector< Int > &	dataDescIds,
		Bool	reset = `False`
	)

initialize the selection by specifying, optionally, the DATA_DESC_IDs.

If you don't specify the dataDescIds and the data shape is constant all data is selected, if the shape does change, only the first dataDescId is selected. If you specify a number of dataDescIds and they all have the same shape, they are all selected, otherwise only the first is selected. The function returns false if the selection was limited due to changing data shape. Use the reset argument to return to the completely unselected ms.

Bool casacore::MSSelector::initSelection ( Bool reset = False )

As above without the data desc id argument.

Bool casacore::MSSelector::iterEnd ( )

End the iteration (before reaching the last iteration) and set the selection back to the state before iteration started.

Bool casacore::MSSelector::iterInit	(	const Vector< String > &	columns,
		Double	interval,
		Int	maxRows = `0`,
		Bool	addDefaultSortColumns = `True`
	)

Set up an iterator, iterating over the specified columns, with optional time interval and maximum number of rows to return at once (the default of zero returns all rows).

To keep MSIter from adding the default sort columns, specify addDefaultSortColumns=False

Bool casacore::MSSelector::iterNext ( )

Step the iterator, sets the selection to the current table iteration.

Returns false if there is no more data and sets the selection back to the state before iteration started.

Bool casacore::MSSelector::iterOrigin ( )

(Re)Set the iterator to the first iteration, call this after iterInit.

void casacore::MSSelector::makeSlicer	(	Int	start,
		Int	nCorr
	)		const

protected

make the data slicer, pass in the first and the number of correlations to select

Int casacore::MSSelector::nrow ( ) const

inline

Number of rows in selected table.

Definition at line 323 of file MSSelector.h.

References casacore::Table::nrow(), and selms_p.

MSSelector& casacore::MSSelector::operator= ( const MSSelector & other )

Assignment, this will initialize the MS with other's MS.

void casacore::MSSelector::putAveragedFlag	(	const Array< Bool > &	avFlag,
		ArrayColumn< Bool > &	col
	)

protected

"unaverage" flag, distribute the flags back to the channels that went into the average

Bool casacore::MSSelector::putData ( const Record & items )

Put the data for the items provided.

Note that only fields corresponding to actual table columns can be put (i.e., no AMPLITUDEs, IFR_NUMBERs etc) The data will need to have the correct shape for the column and a last dimension matching the number of selected rows (or last two dimensions matching times and interferometers, for data retrieved with ifraxis=T) Channel selection is supported, but the width parameter has to be 1.

void casacore::MSSelector::reorderFlagRow ( Array< Bool > & flagRow )

protected

reorder from 2d to 1d (removing ifr axis)

void casacore::MSSelector::reorderWeight ( Array< Float > & weight )

protected

reorder from 2d to 1d (removing ifr axis)

Bool casacore::MSSelector::select	(	const Record &	items,
		Bool	oneBased = `False`
	)

Select the MS based on the selections present in the input record.

The format of this record is the same as that returned by range. Not all possible items can be selected on, some are quietly ignored. Correct for one-based indexing if oneBased is True.

Bool casacore::MSSelector::select ( const String & msSelect )

Select the MS based on the TaQL selection string.

Bool casacore::MSSelector::selectChannel	(	Int	nChan,
		Int	start,
		Int	width,
		Int	incr
	)

Set the mapping from input channels in the DATA column to output channels.

nChan is the number of output channels, start is the first channel to use, width specifies how wide a block of channels to average, increment specifies the start of the next block relative to the start of the current block. Note: averaging uncalibrated data should be avoided (no bandpass applied)

Bool casacore::MSSelector::selected ( ) const

inline

Return the selection status of the table.

Definition at line 326 of file MSSelector.h.

References initSel_p.

Table casacore::MSSelector::selectedTable ( ) const

inline

Return the selected table.

Definition at line 325 of file MSSelector.h.

References selms_p.

Bool casacore::MSSelector::selectPolarization ( const Vector< String > & wantedPol )

Specify the output polarization.

Missing input polarizations are assumed to be zero. This selection/conversion assumes that parallactic angle rotation is taken care of elsewhere (i.e., results may only be correct for CORRECTED_DATA and MODEL_DATA conversions, not for the observed DATA)

void casacore::MSSelector::setMS ( MeasurementSet & ms )

Change or Set the MS this MSSelector refers to.

void casacore::MSSelector::timeAverage	(	Array< Bool > &	dataFlags,
		Array< Complex > &	data,
		const Array< Bool > &	flags,
		const Array< Float > &	weights
	)

protected

time average the input data, return new flags
