Return to directory of Todd's CASA extensions
Reads an antenna configuration file (by default from the directory:
os.getenv('CASAPATH').split()[0]+'/data/alma/simmos
and computes the expected maximum recoverable scale in arcseconds based
on the ALMA-accepted formula of 0.983*lambda/L5percentile. See also estimateSynthesizedBeamForConfig.
Usage:
au.estimateMRSForConfig(config, frequency)
Example:
CASA <2>: au.estimateMRSForConfig('alma.cycle4.5',275)
