Description

using data /DATA/KAPUTAR_3/mopra/MOPSarchive/2007-06-25_2212-M232.rpf with these steps:

s=scantable(fileinname) q=s.auto_quotient() tav=q.average_time(weight='tsys') polav=tav.average_pol() polav.set_unit('MHz') plotter.plot(tav) polav.save('NMLTAU2007-06-25_2212','SDFITS')

generates: Traceback (most recent call last):

File "<console>", line 1, in ? File "reduction.py", line 42, in ?

polav.save('NMLTAU2007-06-25_2212','SDFITS')

File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/asap/scantable.py", line 120, in save

writer.write(self, name)

RuntimeError: poltype = stokes not yet supported in output.

The error isn't produced if the average_pol step is omitted.

As the "error" states it is a feature (Stokes export) which is currently not supported.

averaging "XX" and "YY" will create Stokes I, which is what you would expect.

So I will file this as an enhancement request.
