The SWARM2CASA pipeline

The SWARM2CASA is a software package, being developed with the goal of pipelining SMA wideband data produced from the SWARM correlator into CASA, the Common Astronomy Software Applications package. CASA has been developed and is well-supported by NRAO. This new data path supports users for the reduction of SMA wideband data on CASA.
