321. Work through the list of commands given in the text file to
33 calibrate data taken with the Mopra telescope and identify the
34 emission lines. Commands should be typed line-by-line into
35 ASAP. Seek help from the tutors if there are any commands
36 you don’t understand.
37
382. The commands given in the text file are for 1 Mopra frequency
39 band only (IF0). Now work on the other 3 bands and make a
40 final plot showing all four frequency bands stitched together.
41
423. Now repeat the calibration steps using the Mopra Data
43 Reduction GUI. This GUI has been created via a python script
44 (QuickData.py).

51 # Load data into memory and display short description
52 s = scantable('2006-07-09_1431-M168.rpf')
53 print s
54 # Set the plotting mode
55 plotter.set_mode(stacking='i', panelling='t')
56 plotter.set_histogram()
57 plotter.set_colours('black')
58 plotter.set_linestyles('solid')
59 # Plot all the raw data
60 plotter.plot(s)
61 # Form the quotient spectra
62 q = s.auto_quotient()
63 # Average all scans in time, weighting according to Tsys value
64 av = q.average_time(weight='tsys')
65 # Average the two polarisations together, weighting according to Tsys value
66 iav = av.average_pol(weight='tsys')
67 ### Work on IF0 only
68 # Define a selector
69 sel1 = selector()
70 # Select the first IF for scantable 'iav'
71 sel1.set_ifs(0)
72 iav.set_selection(sel1)

77 msk1 = iav.create_mask([0,120])
78 iav.flag(msk1)
79 msk1 = iav.create_mask([7900,8200])
80 iav.flag(msk1)
81 # Redo the plot
82 plotter.plot(iav)
83 # Identify emission lines
84 iav.set_unit('GHz')
85 plotter.plot(iav)
86 # Load in catalogue of emission lines and overlay on plot
87 lc3 = linecatalog('3mm.txt')
88 plotter.plot_lines(lc3,location='top',rotate=90,doppler=-45)
