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.
