ASAP processing of Mopra OTF data

[wongt@…]

I would like to use ASAP to regrid the spectal axis on Mopra OTF files which have been processed by livedata into SDFITS. These are large SDFITS files, typically >100 MB. Trying to load them using the scantable() command leads to a python crash. Next I tried

r=reader('2009-06-21_0041-M300.sdfits')

scans=r.read()

print scans

but this only reads one integration (and only one IF it seems). I don't mind reading one integration at a time and setting up a loop to work through the file, but I don't see a way to do this (and I would like to output a single SDFITS file at the end).

Hi Tony,

The reader stuff shouldn't really be used (anymore). Use average=False to prevent averaging of 'cycles' as your a doing OTF. Try

s = scantable('2009-06-21_0041-M300.sdfits', average=False)

Since there is now further communication I assume the suggestion worked.
