Usage
Command-line
nenums can be called directly via the shell to quickly convert a XST observation into a MS:
nenums -xst /path/to/DATA_XST.fits -msname /path/to/new/directory/example.ms
Python Shell
from nenums import MS
ms = MS(xst='/path/to/DATA_XST.fits', msname='/path/to/new/directory/example.ms')
ms.createMS()
Will perform the same operation as the above commande-line example.
However, one could also access some Measurement-Set specific functions:
from nenums.utils import ms
ms.splitMS(msname='/path/to/new/directory/example.ms', remove=True)
