On the [rgb]1,0,0IMAGER side

The UVFITS files have first to be converted to uv tables. This can be done by a simple script

  sic find *.uvfits
  for string /in dir%file
    @ fits_to_uvt 'string'
  next
Each cyanSource-Frequency.uvfits file will be converted to a cyanSource-Frequency.uvt uv table (the original cyan.uvfits file is kept too).

The violetfits_to_uvt script is based on the magentaFITS command of red SIC, but augmented with a number of tests to recognize the proper layout of the UVFITS file, as this layout depends on which CASA version was used, and whether it is a single source or multi source file.

The violetfits_to_uvt script has a number of options. Help can be obtained by typing

magenta@ violetfits_to_uvt magenta?

Direct reading of UVFITS data is also partially supported: see Section [*].
