Simulating scans with specified dates and start times? #16

Hi there,

I am wondering are you able to create an MS where you can specify the start time and date for each scan in an observation?

Done. You can now set the -date option multiple times. Each -date represents the start of a new scan. Example

simms -T kat-7 -st 4 -sl 2 ../simms/observatories/KAT7_ANTENNAS -date "2014/12/31/14:54:30" -date "2014/12/31/16:54:30"

gives 2 2hr scans starting at the specified times. and,

Example

simms -T kat-7 -st 4 -sl 1,3 ../simms/observatories/KAT7_ANTENNAS -date "2014/12/31/14:54:30" -date "2014/12/31/16:54:30"

gives you a 1hr and a 3hr scan starting at the specified times.
