Tohban EOVSA Imaging Tutorial A-Z

Step 1: Downloading raw data (IDB) on pipeline server

On pipeline, CASA

from astropy.time import Time
import os
trange = Time(['2017-08-21 20:15:00', '2017-08-21 20:25:00'])
#### (Optional) change output path, default current directory "./" #####
outpath = './msdata/'
if not os.path.exists(outpath):
    os.makedirs(outpath)
######################################################
msfiles = importeovsa(idbfiles=trange, ncpu=1[, visprefix=outpath])

OR

from suncasa.tasks import task_calibeovsa as calibeovsa
from suncasa.tasks import task_importeovsa as timporteovsa
from split_cli import split_cli as split
import dump_tsys as dt
from util import Time
import numpy as np
import os
from glob import glob
from eovsapy import util


trange = Time(['2020-06-07 21:35:00', '2020-06-07 21:55:00'])
idbdir = util.get_idbdir(trange[0])

info = dt.rd_fdb(trange[0])
sidx = np.where(
    np.logical_and(info['SOURCEID'] == 'Sun', info['PROJECTID'] == 'NormalObserving') & np.logical_and(
        info['ST_TS'].astype(np.float) >= trange[0].lv,
        info['ST_TS'].astype(np.float) <= trange[
            1].lv))
filelist = info['FILE'][sidx]

outpath = './msdata/'
if not os.path.exists(outpath):
    os.makedirs(outpath)
inpath = idbdir + '{}/'.format(trange[0].datetime.strftime("%Y%m%d"))
ncpu = 1

msfiles = timporteovsa.importeovsa(idbfiles=[inpath + ll for ll in filelist], ncpu=ncpu, timebin="0s", width=1,
                                   visprefix=outpath,
                                   nocreatms=False, doconcat=False,
                                   modelms="", doscaling=False, keep_nsclms=False, udb_corr=True)

Step 2: Concatenate all the 10 mins data

# This is to set the path/name for the concatenated files
concatvis = os.path.basename(msfiles[0])[:11] + '_concat.ms'
vis = calibeovsa(msfiles, doconcat=True, concatvis=concatvis[, msoutdir=outpath])

Step 3: Calibration

calibeovsa(vis='IDB20170821202020.ms', caltype=['refpha','phacal'], doimage=True)

Step 4: Self-calibration on inti server

Software details on the servers

On Inti, when logging in for the first time, please add the following lines to your accounts .bashrc file.

>>vi .bashrc Insert the text given below and save it.

#### setting start ####
if [ $HOSTNAME == "baozi.hpcnet.campus.njit.edu" ]; then
    source /srg/.setenv_baozi
fi
if [ $HOSTNAME == "inti.hpcnet.campus.njit.edu" ]; then
    source /inti/.setenv_inti
fi
if [ $HOSTNAME == "guko.resource.campus.njit.edu" ]; then
    source /data/data/.setenv_guko
fi
#### setting end ####

Both CASA 5 and 6 are available on Inti.

Please enter the bash environment on inti, and load the desired casa environment with the alias below. To load CASA 5: Enter bash environment by giving >>bash

>> loadcasa5
>> casa  or suncasa              #This should load the software and you are ready for analysis

To load CASA 6: Enter bash environment by giving >>bash

>>loadcasa6
>>ipython                       #This should load the software and you are ready for analysis

Here, for example, to use clean, first start ipython as given above, then type in >>from casatasks import tclean
