    """Convert an ALMA Science Data Model observation into a CASA visibility file (MS) or single-dish data format (Scantable).
           The conversion of the ALMA SDM archive format into a measurement set.  This version
           is under development and is geared to handling many spectral windows of different
           shapes.

           Keyword arguments:
           asdm -- Name of input ASDM file (directory)
               default: none; example: asdm='ExecBlock3'

       vis       -- Root ms or scantable name, note a prefix (.ms or .asap) is NOT appended to this name
           default: none
           
       createmms  -- Create a Multi-MS
           default: False
           
       corr_mode -- correlation mode to be considered on input. Could
            be one or more of the following, ao, co, ac, or all
           default: all

       srt       -- spectral resolution type. Could be one or more of
                    the following, fr, ca, bw, or all
           default: all

       time_sampling -- specifies the time sampling, INTEGRATION and/or
                            SUBINTEGRATION. could be one or more of the following
                            i, si, or all.
           default: all

       ocorr_mode    -- output data for correlation mode AUTO_ONLY 
                            (ao) or CROSS_ONLY (co) or CROSS_AND_AUTO (ca)
           default: ca

      compression  -- produces comrpressed columns in the resulting measurement set.
                 default: False

       lazy         -- Make the MS DATA column read the ASDM Binary data directly
                       (faster import, smaller MS)
                 default: False

       asis         --  creates verbatim copies of the ASDM tables in 
                        the output measurement set. The value given to
                    this option must be a list of table names separated
                    by space characters; the wildcard character '*' is 
                            allowed in table names.

       wvr_corrected_data -- specifies wich values are considered in the 
                      ASDM binary data to fill the DATA column in 
                      the MAIN table of the MS. Expected values for 
                      this option are 'no' for the uncorrected data 
                      (this is the default), 'yes' for the corrected
                      data and 'both' for corrected and uncorrected 
                      data. In the latter case, two measurement sets
                      are created, one containing the uncorrected 
                      data and the other one, whose name is suffixed
                      by '-wvr-corrected', containing the corrected 
                      data.

       scans --  processes only the scans specified in the option's value. This value is a semicolon 
                 separated list of scan specifications. A scan specification consists in an exec bock index 
                 followed by the character ':' followed by a comma separated list of scan indexes or scan 
                 index ranges. A scan index is relative to the exec block it belongs to. Scan indexes are 
                 1-based while exec blocks's are 0-based. "0:1" or "2:2~6" or "0:1,1:2~6,8;2:,3:24~30" "1,2" 
                 are valid values for the option. "3:" alone will be interpreted as 'all the scans of the 
                 exec block#3'. An scan index or a scan index range not preceded by an exec block index will
                 be interpreted as 'all the scans with such indexes in all the exec blocks'.  By default 
                 all the scans are considered.

       ignore_time -- All the rows of the tables Feed, History, Pointing, Source, SysCal, CalDevice, SysPower,
                      and Weather are processed independently of the time range of the selected exec block / scan.

       process_syspower -- The SysPower table is processed if and only if this parameter is set to True.
              default: True

       process_caldevice -- The CalDevice table is processed if and only if this parameter is set to True.
              default: True

       process_pointing -- The Pointing table is processed if and only if this parameter is set to True.
                       If the parameter is set to False the resulting MS will have an empty POINTING table.
              default: True

       process_flags -- Process the online flags and save them to the FLAG_CMD sub-table.
              default: True

            >>> process_flags expandable parameter
                 tbuff -- Time padding buffer (in seconds).
                    default: 0.0

                 applyflags -- Apply the online flags to the MS.
                    default: False

                 savecmds -- Save the online flags to an ASCII file.
                    default: False
                    
                 outfile -- Filename to save the online flags.
                    default: ''

       flagbackup -- Backup the FLAG column in the .flagversions.
              default: True

       verbose     -- produce log output as asdm2MS is being run.

       overwrite -- Over write an existing MS.

       showversion -- report the version of the asdm2MS being used.

       useversion -- Selects the version of asdm2MS to be used (presently only \'v3\' is available).
                     default: v3
                     
       bdfflags -- Set the MS FLAG column according to the ASDM _binary_ flags
                   default: false

       with_pointing_correction -- add (ASDM::Pointing::encoder - ASDM::Pointing::pointingDirection)
                 to the value to be written in MS::Pointing::direction 
                   default: false

       remove_ref_undef -- if set to True then apply fixspwbackport on the resulting MSes.

       convert_ephem2geo -- if True, convert any attached ephemerides to the GEO reference frame

       polyephem_tabtimestep -- Timestep (days) for the tabulation of polynomial ephemerides. A value <= 0 disables tabulation.
                   Presently, VLA data can contain polynomial ephemerides. ALMA data uses tabulated values.
                   default: 0.

    """Convert an ALMA Science Data Model observation into a CASA visibility file (MS) or single-dish data format (Scantable).
           The conversion of the ALMA SDM archive format into a measurement set.  This version
           is under development and is geared to handling many spectral windows of different
           shapes.

           Keyword arguments:
           asdm -- Name of input ASDM file (directory)
               default: none; example: asdm='ExecBlock3'

       vis       -- Root ms or scantable name, note a prefix (.ms or .asap) is NOT appended to this name
           default: none
           
       createmms  -- Create a Multi-MS
           default: False
           
       corr_mode -- correlation mode to be considered on input. Could
            be one or more of the following, ao, co, ac, or all
           default: all

       srt       -- spectral resolution type. Could be one or more of
                    the following, fr, ca, bw, or all
           default: all

       time_sampling -- specifies the time sampling, INTEGRATION and/or
                            SUBINTEGRATION. could be one or more of the following
                            i, si, or all.
           default: all

       ocorr_mode    -- output data for correlation mode AUTO_ONLY 
                            (ao) or CROSS_ONLY (co) or CROSS_AND_AUTO (ca)
           default: ca

      compression  -- produces comrpressed columns in the resulting measurement set.
                 default: False

       lazy         -- Make the MS DATA column read the ASDM Binary data directly
                       (faster import, smaller MS)
                 default: False

       asis         --  creates verbatim copies of the ASDM tables in 
                        the output measurement set. The value given to
                    this option must be a list of table names separated
                    by space characters; the wildcard character '*' is 
                            allowed in table names.

       wvr_corrected_data -- specifies wich values are considered in the 
                      ASDM binary data to fill the DATA column in 
                      the MAIN table of the MS. Expected values for 
                      this option are 'no' for the uncorrected data 
                      (this is the default), 'yes' for the corrected
                      data and 'both' for corrected and uncorrected 
                      data. In the latter case, two measurement sets
                      are created, one containing the uncorrected 
                      data and the other one, whose name is suffixed
                      by '-wvr-corrected', containing the corrected 
                      data.

       scans --  processes only the scans specified in the option's value. This value is a semicolon 
                 separated list of scan specifications. A scan specification consists in an exec bock index 
                 followed by the character ':' followed by a comma separated list of scan indexes or scan 
                 index ranges. A scan index is relative to the exec block it belongs to. Scan indexes are 
                 1-based while exec blocks's are 0-based. "0:1" or "2:2~6" or "0:1,1:2~6,8;2:,3:24~30" "1,2" 
                 are valid values for the option. "3:" alone will be interpreted as 'all the scans of the 
                 exec block#3'. An scan index or a scan index range not preceded by an exec block index will
                 be interpreted as 'all the scans with such indexes in all the exec blocks'.  By default 
                 all the scans are considered.

       ignore_time -- All the rows of the tables Feed, History, Pointing, Source, SysCal, CalDevice, SysPower,
                      and Weather are processed independently of the time range of the selected exec block / scan.

       process_syspower -- The SysPower table is processed if and only if this parameter is set to True.
              default: True

       process_caldevice -- The CalDevice table is processed if and only if this parameter is set to True.
              default: True

       process_pointing -- The Pointing table is processed if and only if this parameter is set to True.
                       If the parameter is set to False the resulting MS will have an empty POINTING table.
              default: True

       process_flags -- Process the online flags and save them to the FLAG_CMD sub-table.
              default: True

            &gt;&gt;&gt; process_flags expandable parameter
                 tbuff -- Time padding buffer (in seconds).
                    default: 0.0

                 applyflags -- Apply the online flags to the MS.
                    default: False

                 savecmds -- Save the online flags to an ASCII file.
                    default: False
                    
                 outfile -- Filename to save the online flags.
                    default: ''

       flagbackup -- Backup the FLAG column in the .flagversions.
              default: True

       verbose     -- produce log output as asdm2MS is being run.

       overwrite -- Over write an existing MS.

       showversion -- report the version of the asdm2MS being used.

       useversion -- Selects the version of asdm2MS to be used (presently only \'v3\' is available).
                     default: v3
                     
       bdfflags -- Set the MS FLAG column according to the ASDM _binary_ flags
                   default: false

       with_pointing_correction -- add (ASDM::Pointing::encoder - ASDM::Pointing::pointingDirection)
                 to the value to be written in MS::Pointing::direction 
                   default: false

       remove_ref_undef -- if set to True then apply fixspwbackport on the resulting MSes.

       convert_ephem2geo -- if True, convert any attached ephemerides to the GEO reference frame

       polyephem_tabtimestep -- Timestep (days) for the tabulation of polynomial ephemerides. A value <= 0 disables tabulation.
                   Presently, VLA data can contain polynomial ephemerides. ALMA data uses tabulated values.
                   default: 0.

                            allowed in table names.

       wvr_corrected_data -- specifies wich values are considered in the 
                      ASDM binary data to fill the DATA column in 
                      the MAIN table of the MS. Expected values for 
                      this option are 'no' for the uncorrected data 
                      (this is the default), 'yes' for the corrected
                      data and 'both' for corrected and uncorrected 
                      data. In the latter case, two measurement sets
                      are created, one containing the uncorrected 
                      data and the other one, whose name is suffixed
                      by '-wvr-corrected', containing the corrected 
                      data.

       scans --  processes only the scans specified in the option's value. This value is a semicolon 
                 separated list of scan specifications. A scan specification consists in an exec bock index 
                 followed by the character ':' followed by a comma separated list of scan indexes or scan 
                 index ranges. A scan index is relative to the exec block it belongs to. Scan indexes are 
                 1-based while exec blocks's are 0-based. "0:1" or "2:2~6" or "0:1,1:2~6,8;2:,3:24~30" "1,2" 
                 are valid values for the option. "3:" alone will be interpreted as 'all the scans of the 
                 exec block#3'. An scan index or a scan index range not preceded by an exec block index will
                 be interpreted as 'all the scans with such indexes in all the exec blocks'.  By default 
                 all the scans are considered.

       ignore_time -- All the rows of the tables Feed, History, Pointing, Source, SysCal, CalDevice, SysPower,
                      and Weather are processed independently of the time range of the selected exec block / scan.

       process_syspower -- The SysPower table is processed if and only if this parameter is set to True.
              default: True

       process_caldevice -- The CalDevice table is processed if and only if this parameter is set to True.
              default: True

       process_pointing -- The Pointing table is processed if and only if this parameter is set to True.
                       If the parameter is set to False the resulting MS will have an empty POINTING table.
              default: True

      process_flags -- Process the online flags and save them to the FLAG_CMD sub-table.
              default: True

            &gt;&gt;&gt; process_flags expandable parameter
                 tbuff -- Time padding buffer (in seconds).
                    default: 0.0

                 applyflags -- Apply the online flags to the MS.
                    default: False

                 savecmds -- Save the online flags to an ASCII file.
                    default: False
                    
                 outfile -- Filename to save the online flags.
                    default: ''

       flagbackup -- Backup the FLAG column in the .flagversions.
              default: True

       verbose     -- produce log output as asdm2MS is being run.

       overwrite -- Over write an existing MS.

       showversion -- report the version of the asdm2MS being used.

       useversion -- Selects the version of asdm2MS to be used (presently only \'v3\' is available).
                     default: v3
                     
      bdfflags -- Set the MS FLAG column according to the ASDM _binary_ flags
                   default: false

      with_pointing_correction -- add (ASDM::Pointing::encoder - ASDM::Pointing::pointingDirection)
                 to the value to be written in MS::Pointing::direction 
                   default: false

      remove_ref_undef -- if set to True then apply fixspwbackport on the resulting MSes.

      convert_ephem2geo -- if True, convert any attached ephemerides to the GEO reference frame
