Browse a table (MS, calibration table, image)
 
      This task brings up a browser that can open and display any CASA table.  The
      tablename  can be specified on inputs, or any table can be loaded after the
      browser comes up.
 
      Keyword arguments:
      tablename -- Name of table file on disk (vis, calibration table, image)
              default: none; example: tablename='ngc5921.ms'
 
 
 
      Some comments in using browsetable (see cookbook also):
 
        Most often you will browse a measurement set.  Either specify the vis name
        as the tablename, or when the browser comes up,
 
              click on <file> (upper left), then click on <open table>
 
      If you want to look at sub-tables, use the tab table keywords along the left side
      to bring up a panel with the sub-tables listed (Fig 3.8), then choose (left-click)
      a table and View.
 
      Note that one useful feature is that you can Edit any table and its contents. Use
      the Edit tab (to the right of the file tab). Be careful with this, and make a backup
      copy of the table before editing!
 
      Use the Close Tables and Exit option from the Files menu to quit the casabrowser
 
      To get a plot of two table values, click on tools, then click on plot 2D.
      For example, to get a u-v plots, in the Plotter Option Gui,
            set Rows:  0  to  <Large Number>
            X Axis:  UVW      Slice  (set 0)
            Y Axis:  UVW      Slice  (set 1)
            click 'Clear and Plot' on right.
 
      For visibility plots
            X Axis:  TIME
            Y Axis:  DATA    Slice Amplitude
            click 'Clear and Plot' on right.
