Array Telescope Simulations (`telsim`)¶

Inputs Required ¶

ms: The name of the MS to create.
telescope: The telescope configuration.
direction: The pointing direction.
starttime: The start time of the observation.
dtime: The time interval between observations.
ntimes: The number of time steps.
startfreq: The starting frequency.
dfreq: The frequency interval.
nchan: The number of frequency channels.

Steps to Use `telsim`¶

Provide the required inputs (e.g., MS name, telescope configuration, etc.).
Run telsim with the desired parameters.
Verify that the MS has been created successfully.

Best Practices ¶

Choose a telescope configuration that matches your simulation goals.
Ensure that the time and frequency ranges are realistic for your observation.

telsim is often used in combination with skysim to simulate visibilities based on a sky model.
