<shortdescription>Convert a CASA visibility data set to a UVFITS file:</shortdescription>
This task writes a UVFITS file, a general format data set used to
transfer data between different software systems. It is written in
floating point format. Different programs have different
restrictions on what forms of UVFITS files they will use, especially
whether they will accept multiple sources and/or spectral windows in
the same file. See the spw, multisource, and combinespw descriptions
IMPORTANT NOTE: In general, some of the data averaging features of
this task have never worked properly. In general, users should run
mstransform to select and average data prior to running
exportuvfits. The associated input parameters are being slowly
