In order to make using and experimenting with QuartiCal a risk-free process, several command line utilities are available to users.
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.
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
.
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
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.
