+=== PVOTAPESUMMARY ===
+
+{{{pvotapesummary}}} is a tool to summarise some basic metadata of the first block of PKS survey tape files. This is designed to give you an overview of the contents and type of data of the tape files. It produces a list in a similar format to {{{pvosummary}}}, but with slightly different columns: FILENAME, RAJ, DECJ, OBSFREQ, SCANLEN, MOVE, DATE-OBS, where MOVE is the moving flag, indicating whether the telescope is scanning or doing a pointed (timing) observation. It works either on a single file, or on all files in a given directory.
