<shortdescription>Import ATCA RPFITS file(s) to a measurement set</shortdescription>
Imports an arbitrary number of ATCA RPFITS format data sets into a
casa measurement set. If more than one band is present, they will be
put in the same measurement set but in a separate spectral window.
The task will handle both old ATCA and new CABB (after April 2009)

<description>Processing options
Options: birdie, reweight, noxycorr, fastmosaic,
hires, noac (comma separated list)
- birdie: (pre-CABB data only) discard edge
channels and channels affected by internal RFI
- reweight: (pre-CABB data only) suppress ringing
of RFI spikes by reweighting of the lag
- noxycorr: do not apply the xy phase correction
as derived from the switched noise calibration,
by default this is applied during loading of
- fastmosaic: use this option if you are loading
mosaic data with many pointings and only one or
two integrations per pointing; this option
changes the tiling of the data to avoid
- hires: use this option if you have data in time
binning mode (as used for pulsars) but you want
to make it look like data with very short
integration time (no bins)
- noac: discard the auto-correlation data
