Prerequisite

Etymology

The MeasurementSet is where all data are ultimately to be found in Casacore. Since, this is a collection of measurements (either actual or simulated), the term MeasurementSet seems appropriate.

Synopsis

A MeasurementSet is a Table. Most operations on a MeasurementSet are Table operations. See the Tables module for a list of those operations. The member functions provided by this class are primarily convenience functions to help users follow the agreed upon column and keyword naming conventions. They are useful when creating a Table following the MeasurementSet conventions from scratch as well as when creating the column objects to access those columns.

The standard way of accessing table columns is through Strings. Mistakes in typing the column name will not be caught at compile time (and may not be caught at run time). We have therefore decided to use an enumeration to specify columns so that many mistakes will be caught at compile time. This requires functions to map to and from this enumeration to the strings that are ultimately used.

Upon destruction, the table is checked to see that the MeasurementSet remains valid, i.e., all required columns are present An exception is thrown if not all required columns are present Nevertheless, the table will be flushed to disk if it is writable - preserving its state.

A MeasurementSet has a number of required subtables. These are stored as keywords in the Table. Access to these subtables is provided via member functions (e.g. antenna() for the ANTENNA table). All subtables have associated MeasurementSet-like classes defined for them (MSAntenna for the ANTENNA table) which provide analogous column and keyword mapping as provided here.

While the class name, MeasurementSet, is descriptive, it is often too long for many common uses. The typedef MS is provided as a convenient shorthand for MeasurementSet. The example below uses this typedef.

Due to the inheritance scheme, it was necessary to separate the enumerations used by MeasurementSet into a separate class, MSMainEnums.

Example

This example illustrates a simple use of the MeasurementSet class.

// create the table descriptor
TableDesc simpleDesc = MS::requiredTableDesc();
// set up a new table
SetupNewTable newTab("simpleTab", simpleDesc, Table::New);
// create the MeasurementSet
MeasurementSet simpleMS(newTab);
// now we need to define all required subtables
// the following call does this for us if we don't need to
// specify details of Storage Managers for columns.
simpleMS.createDefaultSubtables(Table::New);
// fill MeasurementSet via its Table interface
// For example, construct one of the columns
uInt rownr = 0;
// add a row
simpleMS.addRow();
// set the values in that row, e.g. the feed column
feed.putScalar(rownr,1);
// Access a subtable
ArrayColumn<Double> antpos(simpleMS.antenna(),
simpleMS.antenna().addRow();
Array<Double> position(3);
position(0)=1.; position(1)=2.; position(2)=3.;
antpos.put(0,position);
// etc.

Motivation

The Table module is more than adequate as a container of data. However, in order for applications to be useful with data from different sources, some conventions need to be adopted in the use of Tables to store data. The MeasurementSet is where those conventions are defined and, to some extent, enforced.

There are a number of reasons why MeasurementSet is more than just a Table.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

casacore::MeasurementSet::MeasurementSet ( )

This constructs an empty MeasurementSet, only useful to assign to (it is not a valid MS yet).

casacore::MeasurementSet::MeasurementSet ( const String tableName,
TableOption  = Table::Old 
)

These constructors mirror the Table ones with additional checking on validity (verifying that the MS will have the required columns and keywords) An exception is thrown if the constructed Table is not a valid MS.

Thrown Exceptions

casacore::MeasurementSet::MeasurementSet ( const String tableName,
const TableLock lockOptions,
TableOption  = Table::Old 
)
casacore::MeasurementSet::MeasurementSet ( const String tableName,
const TableLock lockOptions,
bool  doNotLockSubtables,
TableOption  = Table::Old 
)
casacore::MeasurementSet::MeasurementSet ( const String tableName,
const String tableDescName,
TableOption  = Table::Old 
)

Allows keeping subtables unlocked/read-locked independent of lock mode of main table.

casacore::MeasurementSet::MeasurementSet ( const String tableName,
const String tableDescName,
const TableLock lockOptions,
TableOption  = Table::Old 
)
casacore::MeasurementSet::MeasurementSet ( SetupNewTable newTab,
uInt  nrrow = 0,
Bool  initialize = False 
)
casacore::MeasurementSet::MeasurementSet ( SetupNewTable newTab,
const TableLock lockOptions,
uInt  nrrow = 0,
Bool  initialize = False 
)
casacore::MeasurementSet::MeasurementSet ( const Table table,
const MeasurementSet otherMs = NULL 
)
casacore::MeasurementSet::MeasurementSet ( const MeasurementSet other)
virtual casacore::MeasurementSet::~MeasurementSet ( )
virtual

As with tables, the destructor writes the table if necessary.

Additional checking is done here to verify that all required columns are still present. If it is NOT valid, it will write the table and then throw an exception.

Thrown Exceptions

void casacore::MeasurementSet::clearSubtables ( )

void casacore::MeasurementSet::createDefaultSubtables ( Table::TableOption  option = Table::Scratch)

Create default subtables: fills the required subtable keywords with tables of the correct type, mainly for testing and as an example of how to do this for specific fillers.

In practice these tables will often have more things specified, like dimensions of arrays and storage managers for the various columns.

comm 
)
private

Make a special copy of this MS which references all columns from this MS except those mentioned; those are empty and writable.

Each forwarded column has the same writable status as the underlying column. The mentioned columns all use the AipsIO storage manager. The main use of this is for the synthesis package where corrected and model visibilities are stored as new DATA columns in an MS which references the raw MS for the other columns. Except for these special cases, the use of this function will be rare.
