Ft
From CASA Guides
Help on ft task:
Insert a source model into the MODEL_DATA column of a visibility set: A source model (souce.model image) or components list is converted into a model visibility that is inserted into the MODEL_DATA column. This is needed to use resolved source in gaincal and in fluxscale. Setjy will automatically make this ft step on the sources currently available are 3C48, 3C138, 3C147, 3C286 at 1.4, 5.0, 8.4, 15, 22, 43 GHz. Their location is site dependent. In Charlottesville and at the AOC, the models are in /usr/lib(lib64)/casapy/data/nrao/VLA/CalModels. Keyword arguments: vis -- Name of input visibility file default: none; example: vis='ngc5921.ms' field -- Field name list default: '' ==> all NOTE: BUT, only one source can be specified in a multi-source vis. field = '1328+307' specifies source '1328+307' field = '4' specified field with index 4 spw -- Spw selection default: spw = '' (all spw) model -- Name of input model image default: '' ==> None; example: model='/usr/lib/casapy/data/nrao/VLA/CalModels/3C286_X.im' Note: The model visibilities are scaled from the model frequency to the observed frequency of the data. complist -- Name of component list default: None; ; example: complist='test.cl' component lists are difficult to make. incremental -- Add model visibility to the existing MODEL_DATA visibilties default: False; example: incremental=True
