Usage for plotSunDuringTrack
Return to directory of Todd's CASA extensions
Plots the solar elev vs. azim (or elev vs. time) during a dataset, with points labeled at the first and last scan, and the pointing scans. You can specify either the ms or the asdm. It reads the observatory name from the ExecBlock.xml (ASDM) or the OBSERVATION table (ms). Returns the name of the plotfile. See also
sun and
angleToSun.
Usage:
au.plotSunDuringTrack(ms='', asdm='', plotfile='', figfiledir='', elvstime=False)
You must give either an ms or an asdm.
- plotfile can be: True, False, or a string name
- elvstime: default=False (el vs. az), or True (el vs. time)
Retruns:
- if plotfile == '', it returns the mean solar elevation in degrees
- if plotfile = '', it returns the name of the plotfile
