<task type="function" name="msuvbin" category="ms, averaging">

    <shortdescription>grid the visibility data onto a defined uniform grid (in the form of an ms); multiple MS\'s can be done onto the same grid</shortdescription>

    <description>

      msuvbin is a uv gridding task. The use is for large volumes

      of data (from multiple epochs) that needs to be imaged into

      one image.  One way of proceeding is to image the epochs and

      average them after wards. Rather than doing this averaging

      the visibilities on a common uv grid has several convenience

      advantages like easily doing the proper weighted averaging and imaging.

      If an output grid already exists and a second ms is gridded on the grid 

      then the output grid parameters is ignored but the existant grid is used.
