4class reader(sdreader):
5 """
6 This class allows the user to import single dish files
7 (rpfits,sdfits,ms).
8 The reader reads in integrations from the file and reamins at
9 the fileposition afterwards.
10 Available functions are:
11
12 read(integrations)
13 summary CURRENTLY DISABLED
14
15 Example:
16 r = reader('/tmp/P389.rpf')
17 scans r.read() # reads in the complete file into 'scans'
18 print scans # summarises the contents
19 del r # destroys the reader
20
21 IMPORTANT: Due to limitations in the rpfits library, only one reader
22 can be created at a time.
23 r = reader('XYZ.rpf')
24 r2 = reader('ABC.rpf')
25 is NOT possible. This is a limitation affecting
26 rpfits ONLY.

32 Parameters:
33 filename: the name of an rpfits/sdfits/ms file on disk
34 unit: brightness unit; must be consistent with K or Jy.
35 The default is that a unit is set depending on
36 the telescope. Setting this over-rides that choice.
37 theif: select a specific IF (default is all)
38 thebeam: select a specific beam (default is all)

40 r = reader('/tmp/2001-09-01_0332_P363.rpf', theif=2)
