Basic Information on mosgen

Task: mosgen
Purpose: Generate a mosaic file, for the on-line system or for uvgen.
Categories: uv analysis

MOSGEN generates a file containing mosaic pointing centres.
The format generated is either suitable either for the ATCA 
on-line system or uvgen.

Key: radec
The RA and DEC of the centre of the mosaic. This is given in
hh:mm:ss,dd:mm:ss format, or decimal hours and degrees. The default
is 0,0

Key: width
The width of the field to mosaic, in degrees. One or two
values can be given, being the width in RA and DEC. The default
is 0.1 degrees.

Key: freq
The observing frequency, in GHz. The default is 1.4 GHz.

Key: device
Standard PGPLOT plotting device, to display a diagram of the
pointing centres. The default is to not produce a plot.

Key: log
Output log file, giving the pointing centres. The default is
the terminal.

Key: mode
The mode determines the format of the output log file. Possible
values are:
  atmosaic  This is the mosaic file format understood by the ATCA
            on-line system.
  uvgen     This is the format required for uvgen's "center" keyword.

Key: telescop
The primary beam type. The default is ATCA.

Key: name
For mode=atmosaic, a name used to derive the pointing name. For
example, using name=lmc, will generate pointing names of
lmc_1, lmc_2, etc.

Key: cycles
For mode=atmosaic, the number of cycles spent on each pointing.
