checkSamplers

Return to directory of Todd's CASA extensions

Gets the TDM full-resolution spws for a dataset, finds the sky subscan timerange of each ATM cal scan, and computes the ratio of channel zero to the median (or minimum) of channels 1-3 (or otherwise specified). Ratios above the specified threshold are indicated with asterisks, and mean that the digitizer thresholds need to be re-optimized by the staff.

Usage:

au.checkSamplers(vis, state_id=None, ac=None, spws=None, threshold1=1.25, threshold2=2.0, maxChannel=3, maxScan=None, useMedian=False)
  • state_id: the state_id number to use for the sky subscan (default: row with REF=1,SIG=0)
  • ac: the Atmcal instance to use (default=None which means create a new one)
  • spws: the spws to consider (default=None which means use all spws)
  • threshold1: if ratio is above this, then print one pair of asterisks
  • threshold2: if ratio is above this, then print two pairs of asterisks
  • maxChannel: adjust the upper bound of the block of channels to take the median of
  • maxScan: the highest scan number to consider (default=None which means use all scans)
  • useMedian: default=False, if True, then take the median of channels 1..maxChannel as the denominator of the ratio, otherwise take the mininum

Return values:
  • dictionary containing the ratios, keyed by antenna name, then baseband number (1..4) with value = [XX,YY]
