Task: uvcheck
Purpose: Check uvdata selection and uv-variable values.
Categories: uv analysis, checking, flagging
UVCHECK is a Miriad program to check the uvdata.
The default is to read through the selected uvdata and report the
times when the source, freq, or number of channels change.
The number of records read and the uv and date range are listed.
The range of values and statistics of a selected variable can
also be listed. Uvdata may be flagged directly if a variable is
out of range or the amplitude of a reference channel is out of range.
Key: vis
The input visibility file. No default.
Key: select
This selects which visibilities to be used. Default is
all visibilities. See the Users Guide for information about
how to specify uv data selection.
Key: line
Linetype of the data in the format line,nchan,start,width,step
line can be `channel', `wide' or `velocity'.
Default is channel,0,1,1,1, which returns actual number of spectral
channels. Use line=wide to check number of wideband correlations.
If the linetype requested is not present it will NOT be listed.
Key: ref
Reference line for flagging data.
Allowed values are:
channel,start,width
wide,start,width
with 'start' and 'width' integers
Default: no reference line.
Key: refamp
Range of amplitude in the reference line used to set the flags
of all the data in that record outside this refamp range to the
value given by flagval.
Two values, reflo and refhi, must be given.
Default: 0,0
Key: flagval
Either 'flag' or 'unflag' the data based on out-of-range refamp.
Default: none.
Key: var
Name of uv-variable to check the range of values. Default is none.
List mean and rms for values of variable within the range.
Key: range
The min and max values for var. Times and values when var is
OUTSIDE this range are listed . The mean and rms are listed
for values of var INSIDE this range. Default is all data.
Key: log
The output log file. Default is the terminal.
