Use [[listobs]] (roughly equivalent to LISTR in AIPS) to list information about your scans, correlator setup, and antenna positions.
<pre>
#  listobs :: List data set summary in the logger
vis                = 'leotest.ms'      #  Name of input visibility file (MS)
verbose            =      True
async              =      False        #  If true the taskname must be started using
                                        #  listobs(...)
</pre>
will produce output that looks like this:

Some things to note here are: The phase calibrator is called J1042+1203, the flux calibrator is 1331+305, and there are two science pointings, Leo-1 and Leo-2.
The correlator is set up in such a way to have one spectral window (or IF). This window is sampled with 256 channels each 7.8 kHz wide. There are no cross-polarization data (note that 'Corrs' is set to only 'RR LL').

Overview

Currently, this describes the reduction of the Leo Ring dataset collected with WIDAR0. This page will need to be revised when "real" OSRO data is acquired.

Importing Data

importing data will probably be quirky; let's not discuss the details of this yet.

Get Some Basic Information on Your Data

Use listobs (roughly equivalent to LISTR in AIPS) to list information about your scans, correlator setup, and antenna positions. 

#  listobs :: List data set summary in the logger
vis                 = 'leotest.ms'      #  Name of input visibility file (MS)
verbose             =       True
async               =      False        #  If true the taskname must be started using
                                        #   listobs(...)

will produce output that looks like this:

Some things to note here are: The phase calibrator is called J1042+1203, the flux calibrator is 1331+305, and there are two science pointings, Leo-1 and Leo-2.

The correlator is set up in such a way to have one spectral window (or IF). This window is sampled with 256 channels each 7.8 kHz wide. There are no cross-polarization data (note that 'Corrs' is set to only 'RR LL').
