Oskar raises warning when any beam other than gaussian is passed

[kenfus]

• Oskar does not support any beams other than gaussian

[jejestern]

Oskar does not support custom beams, but you can choose between four beam types (see telescope/station_type at https://ska-telescope.gitlab.io/sim/oskar/settings/settings-telescope.html) which are given by Oskar.

This should also be mentioned in the documentation. Can you add a sentence or two?

[kenfus]

It is in the documentation, now even enforced because Oskar accepts any strings and does something without any warning.

station_type – Here you can choose the type of each station in the interferometer. You can either disable all station beam effects by choosing “Isotropic beam”. Or select one of the following beam types: “Gaussian beam”, “Aperture array” or “VLA (PBCOR)”
