simobserve is meant to work in conjunction with the simanalyze
12
12
task. Calling simobserve one more times will produce simulated
13
13
measurement set(s), which are then gridded, inverted and deconvolved
14
14
into output simulated images using simanalyze.

ALMA users are encouraged to use the simalma task, which provides
17
17
additional information on the multiple simobserve and simanalyze calls
18
18
required to simulate an ALMA observation which may consist of 12m
19
19
interferometric, 7m interferometric, and 12m total power data.
