orca.transform

Data transformation operations for OVRO-LWA visibility data.

This subpackage provides functions for transforming measurement set data, including:

  • Calibration application (bandpass, gain scaling)

  • Time and frequency averaging

  • Imaging with WSClean

  • Dynamic spectrum generation

  • Source peeling

  • Quality assurance metrics

Most functions operate on CASA-format measurement sets and return the path to the modified or output file.
