open(thems, readonly, lock)

Arguments

thems	in	Name of the measurement set table to open
		Allowed:	String

readonly	in	prevent changes to the measurement set
		Allowed:	Boolean
		Default:	T
lock	in	lock the table for exclusive use by this tool
		Allowed:	Boolean
		Default:	F

nothing

Description
Use this function when you have detached (using the close function) an existing ms tool from a measurement set table and wish to reattach to another measurement set table. This is quicker than destroying the ms tool with the done function and starting up a new one as the server does not have to be restarted.

Example

      include 'ms.g'
      myms := ms('3C273XC1.ms')
      myms.close();
      myms.open("anotherms", readonly=F, lock=F)
