Number of accepted visibilities

Hi there,

I wonder if I could change the number of accepted or rejected visibilities in invert but in 'MFS' mode. something similar to "slop" in cube imaging.

Cheers,
Sara

Hi Sara,

Invert should be using every visibility it can to make an MFS image. Have you seen a problem where invert is not accepting as much data as you expect?

Hi Jamie,

This is what I get when I use invert:
Reading the visibility data ...
Making MFS images
Visibilities accepted: 38697615
### Warning: Visibilities rejected: 15025116

So It rejects 27% of the data.

Hi Sara,

Assuming you're trying to make a 16cm image, it would not surprise me if 27% of the band was flagged.

You can check with the uvfstats task how much of your band has been flagged. I just confirmed with one of my datasets that invert is rejecting only the flagged visibilities, as expected.
