Transfer

Transfer data and flags from a lower-resolution MeasurementSet (MS). In case there is a mismatch between the input MS and source_ms, e.g., in terms of baselines, a filter can be applied. Hence, options of the Filter step are also valid. In that case DP3 doesn’t check whether the same stations are present, just that the number of baselines is the same.

inputs

type

type:

string

doc:

Case-insensitive step type; must be ‘transfer’.

data

type:

bool

default:

False

doc:

Transfer data from source_ms to the MeasurementSet specified with msin.

datacolumn

type:

string

default:

DATA

doc:

The data column to use, i.e., the name of the column in source_ms in which the visibilities that are to be transfered are stored.

flags

type:

bool

default:

False

doc:

Transfer flags from source_ms to the MeasurementSet specified with msin.

outputbuffername

type:

string

default:

empty

doc:

Whether to store the output in a named data buffer. This buffer can later be used in a Combine step.

source_ms

type:

string

doc:

Low resolution MS from which to extract data or flags. This MS must be an averaged version of the main input MS.
