Parameter Explanations

infile

''

name of input SD dataset (must be MS)

calmode

'doublecircle'

gain calibration mode

radius

''

radius of central region to be used for calibration

smooth

True

smooth data or not

antenna

''

select data by antenna name or ID, e.g. “PM03”

field

''

select data by field IDs and names, e.g. “3C2*” (”” = all)

spw

''

select data by spw IDs (spectral windows), e.g., “3,5,7” (”” = all)

scan

''

select data by scan numbers, e.g. “21~23” (“”=all)

intent

''

select data by observation intent, e.g. “OBSERVE_TARGET#ON_SOURCE” (“”=all)

applytable

''

(List of) sky and/or tsys tables for pre-application

interp

''

Interp type in time[,freq], per gaintable. default==linear,linear

spwmap

[ ]

Spectral window mappings to form for applytable(s)

Only used if callib=False default: [] (apply solutions from each calibration spw to the same MS spw only) Any available calibration spw can be mechanically mapped to any

MS spw.

Examples:

spwmap=[0,0,1,1] means apply calibration

from cal spw = 0 to MS spw 0,1 and cal spw 1 to MS spws 2,3.

spwmap=[[0,0,1,1],[0,1,0,1]] (use a list of lists for multiple

applytables)

outfile

''

name of output caltable

overwrite

False

overwrite the output file if already exists
