Documentation on uvputhd
Task: uvputhd
Purpose: Allows user to alter values of header variables in uv dataset
Categories: vis, uv, header
UVPUTHD allows the user to change the values of uv variables in a
uv dataset. All occurances of the variable are changed to the
new value. If the variable is an array, all new values must be
entered in sequential order. If the user desires to set all members
of an array to a single value, only one value need be entered.
Note: PUTHD must be used to use the uv override principle, but
can only be used for single items, i.e. uv variables which are
not an array.
Key: vis
Name of the input MIRIAD dataset. Only one dataset is allowed.
No default.
Key: hdvar
Name of header variable to be changed. Refer to user manual or
run VARLIST to see the selection of allowed variable names.
Key: type
Type of variable, either integer (i),real (r), double precision (d),
or ascii (a). Unused if variable already exists in the data file.
Key: length
Length of array of variable values. Unused if variable already
exists in data file.
Key: nvals
Number of new values for varibles that are being entered in varval.
Key: varval
New values of header variable - if the variable is an array
all values must be specified or will assume one value for all.
Key: out
Name of the output dataset. No default.
