The ALMA QA2 Calibration Script Generator almaqa2Csgalmaqa2csg.py (CSG) in order to speed up and standardise the generation of scripts used for manual calibration of ALMA data. On this page you find the documentation of the public version of it (which may be a version or two behind the latest version in use at the ALMA observatory).

This will import the given ASDM into an MS (named uid___A002_X7c0875_Xd65.ms) and produce a calibration script draft file named "uid___A002_X7c0875_Xd65_scriptForCalibration.py" for it.
NOTE: The CSG expects the ASDM to be named by only the MOUS UID, e.g., uid___A002_X7c0875_Xd65 as above. Any extensions like ".asdm.sdm" need to be removed. Soft links are accepted.
The calibration scripts produced by the CSG use the now common "stepping mechanism" (which was added by D. Petry in 2012):
the idea is that the user of the script controls the execution of the different procedural steps of the calibration without having to edit the script,
thus avoiding the risk of introducing bugs in the script. The mechanism works as follows:
