Help on browsetable task:

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.
