Description of all parameters

The parameters in the parset are divided into several groups like input (msin), output (msout), madflagger, average, preflagger, and uvwflagger. Because multiple flagging and averaging steps can be specified, their parameters have to be prefixed with the step name as shown in the example above.

inputs

checkparset

type:: integer
default:: 0
doc:: What to do if parameters in the ParSet file are not used. -1 means ignore. 0 means give a warning showing those parameters. In this way misspelled parameters can be detected. 1 means give an error and stop. For backward compatibility False (0) and True (1) can also be given .

memory_logging

type:: bool
default:: False
doc:: If true, a current amount of memory in use by Dp3 (in Gb) is added before any logged messages on the console.

numthreads

type:: int
default:: ${OMP_NUM_THREADS}
doc:: Maximum number of threads to use .

showcounts

type:: bool
default:: True
doc:: Show flagging statistics ?

showprogress

type:: bool
default:: True
doc:: Show a progress bar ?

showtimings

type:: bool
default:: True
doc:: At the end the percentage of elapsed time each step took can be shown; the overall time is always shown .

steps

type:: string?
doc:: Names of the steps to perform. Each step has to be defined using the step name as a prefix. The step type parameter defines the type of step (averager, madflagger, preflagger, uvwflagger, counter). The step type defaults to the name of the step, which is especially handy for count steps. msin and msout are implicit steps which should not be given here. An empty vector [] means that the input MS is copied to the output MS while flagging NaN and infinite numbers. Note that a step name can be used more than once meaning that the same step will be executed multiple times (e.g., multiple times count) .

time_logging

type:: bool
default:: False
doc:: If true, a time is added before any logged messages on the console.

verbosity

type:: string
default:: normal
doc:: Verbosity level of console output. Options are: "quiet" to only output errors; "normal" to output errors, warnings and info messages; or "verbose" which additionally outputs debug messages.
