Source name length restricted

[Stacy.Mader@…]

In doing REFERENCED observations here at Parkes, despite the fact the TCS schedule files append a "_R" or "_S" at the end of the source name (to define reference/signal), so when doing a select on _R scans (say), ASAP does not pick them up. For example:

ASAP>scan = scantable('/DATA/PKCCC3_4/2008-06-18_0714_P632_G328.80+0.64a') Auto averaging integrations Importing /DATA/PKCCC3_4/2008-06-18_0714_P632_G328.80+0.64a... Cross polarization present

ASAP>r = scan.get_scan('*_R') Couldn't find any match.

ASAP>scan.summary()

So ASAP seems to have a limit on the maximum number of characters available to list the source name.

What does scantable.get_sourcename() return. I think this might just be formatting in scantable.summary()

This is the same error as ticket:135. Merged with that ticket.
