flint.casa¶

Utilities related to using casa tasks

Functions¶

`applycal`(→ str)	Generate the CASA applycal command
`args_to_casa_task_string`(→ str)	Given a set of arguments, convert them to a string that can
`copy_with_mstranform`(→ pathlib.Path)	Use the casa task mstransform to create nspw spectral windows
`cvel`(→ str)	Generate the CASA cvel command
`gaincal`(→ str)	Generate the CASA gaincal command
`mstransform`(→ str)	Construct and run CASA's `mstransform` task.

Module Contents¶

flint.casa.applycal(**kwargs) → str[source]¶

Generate the CASA applycal command

Returns:: The command to execute
Return type:: str

flint.casa.args_to_casa_task_string(task: str, **kwargs) → str[source]¶

Given a set of arguments, convert them to a string that can be used to run the corresponding CASA task that can be passed via casa -c for execution

Parameters:: task (str) – The name of the task that will be executed
Returns:: The formatted string that will be given to CASA for execution
Return type:: str

flint.casa.copy_with_mstranform(casa_container: pathlib.Path, ms_path: pathlib.Path) → pathlib.Path[source]¶

Use the casa task mstransform to create nspw spectral windows in the input measurement set. This is necessary when attempting to use gaincal to solve for some frequency-dependent solution.

Parameters:

casa_container (Path) – Path to the singularity container with CASA tooling
ms_path (Path) – The measurement set that should be reformed to have nspw spectral windows

Returns:

The path to the measurement set that was updated

Return type:

Path

flint.casa.cvel(**kwargs) → str[source]¶

Generate the CASA cvel command

Returns:: The command to execute
Return type:: str

flint.casa.gaincal(**kwargs) → str[source]¶

Generate the CASA gaincal command

Returns:: The command to execute
Return type:: str

flint.casa.mstransform(**kwargs) → str[source]¶

Construct and run CASA’s mstransform task.

Parameters:

casa_container (Path) – Container with the CASA tooling
ms (str) – Path to the measurement set to transform
output_ms (str) – Path of the output measurement set produced by the transform

Returns:

The mstransform string

Return type:

str
