FITS
CLIC\FITS name [/PLOT] [/BASELINE b] [/ANTENNA a] [/OVERWRITE]
Create for each selected line subband a FITS file containing the spec-
tral data. The fits file names are e.g. name-l01.fits, name-l02.fits,
name-l03.fits (one fits file is created for each subband), if one has
specified SET SUBBAND L01 L02 L03.
For autocorrelation data, the data from all antennas are averaged. For
correlation data, the complex data from all baselines are averaged and
the real part of the resulting visibility is used.
Option /ANTENNA exports a single logical antenna for autocorrelation da-
ta instead of averaging all antennas together. Option /BASELINE exports
a single logical baseline for correlation data instead of averaging all
baselines together. The baseline label uses the same logical notation as
in SET BASELINE. Option /PLOT displays the selected spectrum before
writing the FITS file.
Only one selector can be specified. Use /ANTENNA only for autocorrela-
tion data and /BASELINE only for correlation data. Option /OVERWRITE
allows replacing an existing output FITS file.
This command allows to easily write out spectra from point-like sources
to be further analyzed in CLASS. Reading the data in CLASS and writing
them in a CLASS-format file can be done with a procedure like:
FILE OUT myfile NEW
FITS READ name-l01.fits
WRITE next_obs
FITS READ name-l02.fits
WRITE next_obs
etc..
