hif_mstransform —- Create new MeasurementSets for science target imaging

Create new MeasurementSets for imaging from the corrected column of the input MeasurementSet. By default all science target data is copied to the new MS. The new MeasurementSet is not re-indexed to the selected data and the new MS will have the same source, field, and spw names and ids as it does in the parent MS.

Output

results – If pipeline mode is ‘getinputs’ then None is returned. Otherwise the results object for the pipeline task is returned.

——— parameter descriptions ———————————————

vis The list of input MeasurementSets. Defaults to the list of

MeasurementSets specified in the h_init or hif_importdata task. ‘’: use all MeasurementSets in the context

Examples: ‘ngc5921.ms’, [‘ngc5921a.ms’, ngc5921b.ms’, ‘ngc5921c.ms’]

outputvis The list of output transformed MeasurementSets to be used for

imaging. The output list must be the same length as the input list. The default output name defaults to <msrootname>_target.ms

Examples: ‘ngc5921.ms’,

[‘ngc5921a.ms’, ngc5921b.ms’, ‘ngc5921c.ms’]

field Select fields name(s) or id(s) to transform. Only fields with

data matching the intent will be selected.

Examples: ‘3C279’, ‘Centaurus*’, ‘3C279,J1427-421’

intent Select intents for which associated fields will be imaged.

By default only TARGET data is selected.

Examples: ‘PHASE,BANDPASS’

spw Select spectral window/channels to image. By default all

science spws for which the specified intent is valid are selected .

chanbin Width (bin) of input channels to average to form an output

channel. If chanbin > 1 then chanaverage is automatically switched to True.

timebin Bin width for time averaging. If timebin > 0s then

timeaverage is automatically switched to True.

pipelinemode The pipeline operating modeThe pipeline operating mode.

In ‘automatic’ mode the pipeline determines the values of all context defined pipeline inputs automatically. In ‘interactive’ mode the user can set the pipeline context defined parameters manually. In ‘getinputs’ mode the user can check the settings of all pipeline parameters without running the task.

dryrun Run the task (False) or just display the command (True) acceptresults Add the results of the task to the pipeline context (True) or

reject them (False).

  1. Create a science target MS from the corrected column in the input MS.

2. Make a phase and bandpass calibrator targets MS from the corrected column in the input MS.
