========================

.. py:module:: orca.transform.integrate

.. autoapi-nested-parse::

   Measurement set integration transforms.

   Provides functions to combine multiple measurement sets into a single
   integrated measurement set with a common phase center. Used for creating
   multi-scan or multi-snapshot datasets for imaging.

.. py:function:: integrate(ms_list: List[str], out_ms: str, phase_center: Optional[astropy.coordinates.SkyCoord] = None, use_virtualconcat: bool = False) -> str

   Integrate a list of ms (assumed to be time sorted)
   chgcentre, concat, and then changing the field id.
   Common phase center is defaulted to the phase center of the first scan in the list.

   :param ms_list: List of (time-sorted) measurement sets to integrate.
   :param out_ms: output measurement set path.
   :param phase_center: Phase center for the integrated ms.
   :param use_virtualconcat: Whether to use virtualconcat, which MOVES the data to create a multi-ms. The original data
                             file will not stay there.

   Returns: Path to integrated measurement set.
