set_casacore_path

set_casacore_path(path=None)[source]

Set the path in .casarc to the desired data directory

The “measures.directory” in the .casarc file is not used by any part of CASA. This function is provided as a convenience for casacore users (e.g. python-casacore) so that the path to the casacore data directory can be found by casacore users. It sets the value of that parameter to the casacore data location, replacing any previously set value.

Parameters

path (string=None) - path to the desired data directory. Default None uses the included data directory from this package

Returns

None
