4 """
5 This class allows the user to import single dish files
6 (rpfits,sdfits,ms).
7 The reader reads in integrations from the file and reamins at
8 the fileposition afterwards.
9 Available functions are:
10
11 read(integrations)
12 summary CURRENTLY DISABLED
13
14 Example:
15 r = reader('/tmp/P389.rpf')
16 scans r.read() # reads in the complete file into 'scans'
17 print scans # summarises the contents
18 del r # destroys the reader

24 Parameters:
25 filename: the name of an rpfits/sdfits/ms file on disk
26 unit: brightness unit; must be consistent with K or Jy.
27 The default is that a unit is set depending on
28 the telescope. Setting this over-rides that choice.
29 theif: select a specific IF (default is all)
30 thebeam: select a specific beam (default is all)
31 Example:
32 r = reader('/tmp/2001-09-01_0332_P363.rpf', theif=2)
