msconcat (Measurement Concatenation Utility)

The msconcat utility is used to concatenate measurement sets.

The intended use-cases of this tool are:

• Concatenate measurement sets from different observations into a single measurement set. It is used, for example, to create a single measurement set from multiple scheduling blocks.

See documentation on casacore task MSConcat for more information.
