Documentation on window
Key: windows
The use of "select=window" is used to select a subset of spectral
windows (or IF bands in AIPS terminology) in a uv data-set. For
example, to select the second and third spectral windows, use
select=window(2,3)
Some explanation is needed for the interaction between "select=window"
and the line keyword.
Window selection complements velocity linetypes (line=velocity or
line=felocity). In this case only data from the selected windows
is used in determining the velocity channels.
There are some limitations when using window selection with channel
linetype ("line=channel"). Firstly the selected windows must
be contiguous (i.e. you cannot give "select=window(1,4)") when combined
with "line=channel" selection. Secondly the channel specification
in the line keyword is relative to the first channel in the first
selected window. For example, if you use
line=channel,10,1,1 select=window(2,3)
you will be get 10 channels starting from the first channel in window
2. If windows 2 and 3 had 8 channels each, then you would get all
8 channels from window 2, and the first two channels from window 3.
