msmerge (Measurement Merging Utility)

The msmerge utility is used to merge measurement sets in frequency.

The intended use-cases of this tool are:

• Merge measurement sets from different frequency sub-bands into a single measurement set. It is used, for example, to create a single simulated measurement set when one needs to split a simulation into sub-bands.

Running the program

It can be run with the following command

$ msmerge.sh -o output_file list_of_input_files

The msmerge program is not parallel/distributed, it runs in a single process.

Configuration Parameters

At this time msmerge does not accept a configuration parameter file.

Example

Example 1:

$ msmerge.sh -o fullband.ms subband_???.ms

Example 2:

$ msmerge.sh -o output.ms channel1.ms channel2.ms channel3.ms
