60 // <synopsis>
61 // MSCalEngine is a class used to calculate derived MeasurementSet
62 // values hourangle, parallactic angle, azimuth/elevation,
63 // local sidereal time, and UVW coordinates.
64 // It is used by the DerivedMSCal virtual columns and UDFs, but can
65 // be used by other software as well.
66 //
67 // The following values can be obtained:
68 // <ul>
69 // <li> HA is the hourangle of the array center (observatory position).
70 // <li> HA1 is the hourangle of ANTENNA1.
71 // <li> HA2 is the hourangle of ANTENNA2.
72 // <li> HADEC is the hourangle/DEC of the array center (observatory position).
73 // <li> HADEC1 is the hourangle/DEC of ANTENNA1.
74 // <li> HADEC2 is the hourangle/DEC of ANTENNA2.
75 // <li> LAST is the local sidereal time of the array center.
76 // <li> LAST1 is the local sidereal time of ANTENNA1.
77 // <li> LAST2 is the local sidereal time of ANTENNA2.
78 // <li> PA1 is the parallactic angle of ANTENNA1.
79 // <li> PA2 is the parallactic angle of ANTENNA2.
80 // <li> AZEL is the azimuth/elevation of the array center.
81 // <li> AZEL1 is the azimuth/elevation of ANTENNA1.
82 // <li> AZEL2 is the azimuth/elevation of ANTENNA2.
83 // <li> ITRF is the direction in (time-dependent) ITRF coordinates.
84 // <li> UVW_J2000 is the UVW coordinates in J2000 (in meters).
85 // </ul>
86 // All values have data type double and unit radian (except UVW). The HADEC,
87 // AZEL, ITRF and UVW cvalues are arrays while the others are scalars.
88 //
89 // This engine is meant for a MeasurementSet, but can be used for any table
90 // containing an ANTENNA and FIELD subtable and the relevant columns in the
91 // main table (ANTENNA1 and/or ANTENNA2, FIELD_ID, and TIME).
92 // It also looks if columns FEED1 and/or FEED2 exist. They are not used yet,
93 // but might be in the future for support of multi-feed arrays.
94 // <br>In principle the array center is the Observatory position, which is
95 // taken from the Measures Observatory table using the telescope name found
96 // in the OBSERVATION subtable or in the table keyword TELESCOPE_NAME.
97 // However, if the telescope name cannot be found or is unknown, the position
98 // of the middle antenna is used as the array position.
99 //
100 // The new CASA Calibration Table format obeys the rules mentioned above,
101 // so these tables are fully supported. Note they do not contain an
102 // OBSERVATION subtable, but use keyword TELESCOPE_NAME.
103 //
104 // The engine can also be used for old CASA Calibration Tables. It understands
105 // how they reference the MeasurementSets. Because these calibration tables
106 // contain no ANTENNA2 columns, columns XX2 are the same as XX1.
107 // </synopsis>
108 
109 // <motivation>
110 // Factor out common code.
111 // </motivation>
112 
113 // <todo asof="$DATE:$">
114 // <li> Take care of the feeds and their offsets.
115 // <li> Have a conversion engine per field/antenna/feed?
116 // </todo>
