Getting Started

Loading Data | Measurement Set Contents | Inspecting Data

Purpose

Note: these pages are a work in progress and many are placeholders for future content.

Before delving into data calibration, editing, etc., it is very important to understand the structure and contents of a measurement set (the format in which EVLA data are stored). These pages will guide the new user through loading and initial inspection of their data.

Organization

Currently, these pages include information on loading and inspecting EVLA data, as well as on the structure and organization of the measurement set (MS). Most of the content for these pages is being developed using theĀ CASA Guides wiki, where you might find other useful and relevant information.

If you are using AIPS to reduce your EVLA data we refer to Appendix E of the AIPS cookbook.
