SpectralWindowTable

class SpectralWindowTable(container)[source]

Bases: object

The SpectralWindowTable class is an Alma table.

Spectral window description. The convention in ALMA is to describe the frequency axis in the topocentric reference frame. If this is not the case (for instance if active Doppler tracking is implemented) then measFreqRef should be set accordingly.

Shown here are the fields found in each row.

The key fields are shown first and used (together) to index a unique row. Key fields are all required and indicated by “Key.” following the description.

Other fields are required unless “optional” is shown for that field.

The field description text here is as found in the model used to generate the code.

Types may be an enumeration or extended pyasdm type. Fields that are python lists are indicated that by “[]” in the type and having the word “Array” at the start of description followed by the expected number of elements in that list in parentheses. Lists (arrays) may be multi-dimensional (lists of lists) and are indicated by [][] … etc as needed to indicate the expected number of dimensions. Multi-dimenstional lists will show the expected number of elements for each dimension also in the parenthese after “Array”.

The use of “auto-incrementable” indicates that that field is auto-generated when the table is created and that field is set, as necessary, to create a unique key for the specific row being added, by incrementing that value from the previous highest value needed for the rest of the elements of the key on that row. Such a field can not be set independently, it is only set when the row is added to the table by that auto-increment mechanism.

The method creates a new SpectralWindowRow which knows about this table. Each attribute of the created row is a (deep) copy of the corresponding attribute of row. The method does not add the created row to this, it simply parents it to this, a call to the add method has to be done in order to get the row added (very likely after having modified some of its attributes. If row is None then the method returns a new SpectralWindowRow with default values for its attributes.

Depending on the boolean value of its _fileAsBin data member a binary serialization of this (_fileAsBin==True) will be saved in a file “SpectralWindow.bin” or an XML representation (_fileAsBin==False) will be saved in a file “SpectralWindow.xml”. The file is always written in a directory whose name is passed as a parameter. param directory The name of directory where the file containing the table’s representation will be saved. raises ConversionException for any errors while writing that file.

toMIME(mimeFilePath, mimeXMLpart, byteOrder)[source]

Write this out to mimeFilePath as a serialized MIME file with a leading XML part and a following binary part.

The mimeXMLpart is a string that should have already been written to the corresponding small XML file (and is returned by the MIMEXMLPart method here). The byteOrder is a ByteOrder instance that gives the byte order to use when writing the binary data. That instance should have also been used to generate mimeXMLpart.
