Utilities
In order to make using and experimenting with QuartiCal a risk-free process, several command line utilities are available to users.
goquartical-backup
This command line utility allows users to back up any measurement set column to a compressed zarr format. The utility will automatically attach time and measurement set info to the backup. This utility is invoked using:
goquartical-backup path/to.ms path/to/backup/directory column
Help is available and can be accessed by running goquartical-backup -h
.
The main purpose of this utility is to allow users to back up flags and weights which may be altered by the calibration process.
goquartical-restore
This command line utility allows users to restore a back up measurement set
column generated by goquartical-backup
to the measurement set. This allows
users to easily revert unwanted changes to the measurement set caused by e.g.
a bad calibration run causing excessive flagging or user error. This utility
is invoked using:
goquartical-restore path/to/backup path/to.ms column
Help is available and can be accessed by running goquartical-restore -h
.
goquartical-config
This command line utility generates an unpopulated .yaml file containing all available options. This can be edited as needed by a user. This utility is invoked using:
goquartical-config path/to/config.yaml
goquartical-summary
This command line utility generates a file containing a summary of information about a given measurement set. This utility can be invoked using:
goquartical-summary path/to.ms path/to/output_dir
The output of this command is particularly useful when submitting bug reports.
