Help on importasdm task:

Convert an ALMA Science Data Model observation into a CASA visibility file
Convert an ALMA Science Data Model observation into a CASA visibility file (MS) or single-dish data format (Scantable).
The conversion of the ALMA SDM archive format into a measurement set.  This version
is under development and is geared to handling many spectral windows of different
shapes.

Keyword arguments:
asdm -- Name of input ASDM file (directory)
        default: none; example: asdm='ExecBlock3'

vis       -- Root ms or scantable name, note a prefix (.ms or .asap) is NOT appended to this name
             default: none

singledish   -- Set True to write data as single-dish format (Scantable)
                default: False

            >>> singledish expandable parameter
                 antenna -- antenna name or id.

corr_mode -- correlation mode to be considered on input. Could
             be one or more of the following, ao, co, ac, or all
             default: all

srt       -- spectral resolution type. Could be one or more of
             the following, fr, ca, bw, or all
             default: all

time_sampling -- specifies the time sampling, INTEGRATION and/or
                 SUBINTEGRAION. could be one or more of the following
                 i, si, or all.
                 default: all

ocorr_mode    -- output data for correlation mode AUTO_ONLY
                 (ao) or CROSS_ONLY (co) or CROSS_AND_AUTO (ca)
                 default: ca

compression  -- produces comrpressed columns in the resulting measurement set.
                default: False

asis         --  creates verbatim copies of the ASDM tables in
                 the output measurement set. The value given to
                 this option must be a list of table names separated
                 by space characters; the wildcard character '*' is
                 allowed in table names.

wvr_corrected_data -- specifies wich values are considered in the
                      ASDM binary data to fill the DATA column in
                      the MAIN table of the MS. Expected values for
                      this option are 'no' for the uncorrected data
                      (this is the default), 'yes' for the corrected
                      data and 'both' for corrected and uncorrected
                      data. In the latter case, two measurement sets
                      are created, one containing the uncorrected
                      data and the other one, whose name is suffixed
                      by '-wvr-corrected', containing the corrected
                      data.

verbose     -- produce log output as asdm2MS is being run

showversion -- report the version of the asdm2MS being used.
