obsconf

Set up some basic information about the observation(s).

obsinfo

Get observation information.

enable

bool

Execute the obsconf worker.

listobs

bool, optional, default = True

Run the CASA ‘listobs’ task to get observation information.

summary_json

bool, optional, default = True

Run the MSUtils summary function to get observation information written as a JSON file, which can then be used to automatically configure pipeline.

vampirisms

bool, optional, default = False

Return the time range over which observations were taken at night.

plotelev

Make Elevation vs Hour-angle plots for observed fields.

enable

bool, optional, default = True

Enable segment ‘plot_elevation_tracks’.

plotter

{“plotms”, “owlcat”}, optional, default = owlcat

The application to be used for making plots. Options are ‘plotms’ and ‘owlcat’.

target

list of str, optional, default = all

The field name(s) of the target field(s), separated by commas if there are multiple target fields. Or set this parameter to ‘all’ to select all of the target fields.

gcal

list of str, optional, default = all

The field name(s) of the gain (amplitude/phase) calibrator field(s). Or set ‘all’ to select all of the gcal fields, ‘longest’ to select the gcal field observed for the longest time, or ‘nearest’ to select the gcal field closest to the target. Note that if multiple targets and gcals are present, then ‘all’ (for both the ‘target’ and ‘gcal’ parameters) means that each target will be paired with the closest gcal.

bpcal

list of str, optional, default = longest

The field name(s) of the bandpass calibrator field(s). Or set ‘all’ to select all of the bpcal fields, ‘longest’ to select the bpcal field observed for the longest time, or ‘nearest’ to select the bpcal field closest to the target.

fcal

list of str, optional, default = longest

The field name(s) of the fluxscale calibrator field(s). Or set ‘all’ to select all of the fcal fields, ‘longest’ to select the fcal field observed for the longest time, or ‘nearest’ to select the fcal field closest to the target.

xcal

list of str, optional, default = longest

The field name(s) of the crosshand phase-angle calibrator field(s). Or set ‘all’ to select all of the xcal fields, ‘longest’ to select the xcal field observed for the longest time, or ‘nearest’ to select the xcal field closest to the target. This calibrator must be linearly polarized and have a non-zero parallactic angle coverage at the time of observation in order to solve for the X-Y offsets in digitizers and the absolute polarization angle of the system. Successful calibration derotates U from V.

refant

str

The reference antenna, which can be identified by an antenna name or number.

report

bool, optional, default = False

(Re)generate a full HTML report at the end of this worker.

cabs

list of map, optional, default = ‘ ‘

Specifies non-default image versions and/or tags for Stimela cabs. Running with scissors: use with extreme caution.
