HDF5-based wrapper for LOFAR datasets #7

Open griffinfoster opened 9 years ago

griffinfoster commented 9 years ago

Currently the LOFAR ACC and XST files are just binary blobs with limited meta-data in the file name. It would be useful to create an HDF5-based wrapper to contain the visibilities and meta-data such as station id, subbands/frequencies, rcu mode, time, integration length, antenna positions, uvw positions.

Once this is established, the scripts can be updated to use the new format.

This will be supported by an external module (https://github.com/griffinfoster/issformat). Support for this interface needs to be added now.
