Getting Started For AIPS users who are learning CASA, it is intuitive to think about equivalent tasks between the two software packages. Below are some AIPS-to-CASA equivalent tasks; note that there is not always a one-to-one transformation between the two packages.

AIPSCASA Purpose
DEFAULT DEFAULT Load a task with default parameters
TASK INP Load a task with current parameters
INP INP View task parameters
TGET TGET Load a task with parameters last used for that task
GO GO Run a task
UCAT LS List uv data files
MCAT LS List image data files
ZAP RMTABLES Delete data files
FILLM IMPORTVLA Import data
DBCON CONCAT Concatenate uv files
LISTR LISTOBS Print basic data
IMHEAD VISHEAD View header for uv data
IMHEAD IMHEAD View header for an image
PRTAN LISTOBS Print antenna locations
PRTAN PLOTANTS Plot antenna locations
QUACK FLAGDATA Remove first integrations from scans
UVFLG FLAGDATA Flag data
UVPLT PLOTMS Plot UV data
WIPER PLOTMS Plot and flag UV data
TVFLG VIEWER Flag raster image of time v. baseline
SPFLG VIEWER Flag raster image of time v. channel
SETJY SETJY Set flux densities for flux cals
GETJY FLUXSCALE Determine flux densities for other cals
CALIB GAINCAL Gain calibrate data
BPASS BANDPASS Bandpass calibrate data
SNPLT PLOTCAL Plot gain calibration tables
POSSM PLOTCAL Plot bandpass calibration tables
POSSM PLOTMS Plot spectra
CLCAL APPLYCAL Apply calibration to data
UVLIN UVCONTSUB Subtract continuum from uv data
UVLSF UVCONTSUB Subtract continuum from uv data
SPLIT SPLIT Write out uv files for individual sources
IMAGR CLEAN Image and deconvolve
