Jump to search
This tutorial describes the step-by-step procedure to download EOVSA IDB data, obtain and calibrate the measurement sets (.ms), and, transfer them to the inti server for self-calibration and further analysis.
Pre-requisites
Accounts on Pipeline and Inti or Baozi servers. Sijie and Bin can help with the account set-up for pipeline, inti and boazi.
How to connect to pipeline
Windows: On a windows machine Mobaxterm can be used to connect to Pipeline. For details, see ...
Linux/Unix: On a linux/Mac the ssh commands can be used:
ssh -L 5902:helios.solar.pvt:20000 guest@ovsa.njit.edu ### when prompted, enter password to guest@ovsa ### ssh -XY your_username@pipeline ### add your username and enter password to your pipeline account, when prompted ###
Alternatively, to avoid typing the longer commands, proxy commands can be added to the ssh config file:
vim ~/.ssh/config ### press 'i' to insert content and esc +':wq' to write and quit ###
Host *
ForwardAgent yes
Host *
ForwardX11 yes
Host ovsa
HostName ovsa.njit.edu
User guest
Host pipeline
Hostname pipeline.solar.pvt
User your_username ### Insert your pipeline username here ###
ProxyCommand ssh -W %h:%p guest@ovsa.njit.edu
Upon saving the .ssh/config file and restarting the terminal, you can connect to pipeline directly using:
ssh -XY pipeline
How to connect to the inti server
NOTE: To connect to inti you must have a NJIT UCID. The arcs have granted access to inti for all SRG members. If you encounter any issue with the login. Please let arcs folks (arcs@njit.edu) know.
Windows: As mentioned above, on a windows machine Mobaxterm can be used to connect to inti. For details, see ...
Linux/Unix: On a linux/Mac the ssh command can be used:
ssh -XY UCID@inti.hpcnet.campus.njit.edu ### insert UCID here and enter your NJIT UCID password, when prompted ###
When logging in for the first time, please add the following lines (demarcated by #) in your ~/.bashrc file in order to use the casa on inti.
#### setting start #### if [ $HOSTNAME == "baozi.hpcnet.campus.njit.edu" ]; then source /srg/.setenv_baozi fi if [ $HOSTNAME == "inti.hpcnet.campus.njit.edu" ]; then source /inti/.setenv_inti fi if [ $HOSTNAME == "guko.resource.campus.njit.edu" ]; then source /data/data/.setenv_guko fi #### setting end ####
Proxy commands for inti can also be added to the .ssh/config file for convenience:
vim ~/.ssh/config ### press 'i' to insert content and esc +':wq' to write and quit ###
Host inti
Hostname inti.hpcnet.campus.njit.edu
User UCID ### insert NJIT UCID here ###
after the proxy is set up, connect to inti by simply typing:
ssh -XY inti ### enter your NJIT UCID password when prompted ###
Downloading data and Preliminary Calibration
Step 1: Downloading raw data (IDB) on Pipeline machine
The initial downloading of data and applying refcal and phasecal to the .ms files is performed on the pipeline since the complete EOVSA SQL database is stored here for now.
If you are not using mobaxterm, directly SSH to Pipeline through your Linux or Mac computer and start tcsh to run CASA.

msfiles = importeovsa(idbfiles=trange, ncpu=1, visprefix=outpath)
NOTE: The above step currently gives an error with importeovsa. This is because the data location was changed and the code doesn't know where to look for the IDB files. Sijie is looking into the problem. We will update the page when it is fixed. For now, please use the method below for all time ranges.
OR (for a time range longer than 10 minutes)

visprefix=outpath,
nocreatms=False, doconcat=False,
modelms="", doscaling=False, keep_nsclms=False, udb_corr=True)
If you come across errors with calibeovsa, add following lines to your ~/.casa/init.py file.
import sys
sys.path.append('/common/python')
sys.path.append('/common/python/packages/pipeline_casa')
execfile('/common/python/suncasa/tasks/mytasks.py')
Step 2: Concatenate all the 10 mins data, if there are any
Follow this step if there are more than one .ms files, if not run step 3 directly. If doimage=True, a quicklook image will be produced (by integrating over the entire time) as shown below.
# This is to set the path/name for the concatenated files concatvis = os.path.basename(msfiles[0])[:11] + '_concat_cal.ms' vis = calibeovsa.calibeovsa(msfiles, doconcat=True, concatvis=concatvis, caltype=['refpha','phacal'], doimage=True)
Figure 1: Quick-look full-Sun image after the initial calibration.
Step 3: Calibration
This will calibrate the input visibility, write out calibration tables under /data1/eovsa/caltable/, and apply the calibration.
vis = calibeovsa.calibeovsa('IDB20170821202020.ms', caltype=['refpha','phacal'], doimage=True) ###Change the vis filename accordingly###
# Append '_cal' to the ms filename and split the corrected column to the new caled ms
vis_str = str(' '.join(vis))
caled_vis=vis_str.replace('.ms','_cal.ms')
split(vis=' '.join(vis),outputvis=caled_vis,datacolumn='corrected',timerange='',correlation='XX')
One needs to transfer the created caled ms data files (xxx_concat_cal.ms or xxx_cal.ms) from pipeline to inti server, which has all the casatasks installed, in order to run the rest of the imaging steps.
Connection details to Inti server
For Windows, on Mobaxterm,
- With your NJIT VPN connected, connect to one of the afsconnect servers (for example, afsaccess3.njit.edu) using your UCID and password.
- ssh -X UCID@inti.hpcnet.campus.njit.edu
To avoid typing the full inti address each time you attempt for ssh, you may wish to add the following lines with your username to C:\Program Files\Git\etc\ssh\ssh_config on Windows and /.ssh/config on Mac and Linux machines.
Host inti Hostname inti.hpcnet.campus.njit.edu User USERNAME ###Insert UCID/inti username here###
To have sufficient disk space with EOVSA data analysis over Inti, use your dedicated directory YOURDIRECTORY at the location given below. If you do not have a directory, Please take help from Sijie in creating one.
cd /inti/data/users/YOURDIRECTORY
For Linux or Mac machine, ssh -X UCID@inti.hpcnet.campus.njit.edu
Transferring data files between servers
For directly transferring your calibrated .ms data between the Pipeline and Inti servers, follow the below given steps.
1. Log into Inti using your username. ssh -X USERNAME@inti.hpcnet.campus.njit.edu Then create a tunnel into Pipeline from Inti. ssh -L 8888:pipeline.solar.pvt:22 guest@ovsa.njit.edu 2. Log into Inti again from a new terminal. Change to your working directory and give this command to copy your data on Pipeline. scp -v -C -r -P 8888 USERNAMEofPipeline@localhost:PATHofMSDATA/MSfilename ./ Eg: scp -v -C -r -P 8888 shaheda@localhost:/data1/shaheda/IDB20220118173922_cal.ms ./ where, MSfilename, PATHofMSDATA are your .ms data and its path on Pipeline machine.
Alternatively, one can follow the below procedure to do the transfer.
For Windows, on mobaxterm, drag and drop the ms file to your local machine or use scp command as given below.
scp -r -C userid@pipeline:/your/folder/msfile /localmachine/destination/folder/
On mobaxterm and on your local terminal, use the following command to finally copy the ms file to Inti.
scp -r -C /localmachine/destination/folder/msfile UCID@inti.hpcnet.campus.njit.edu:/inti/data/users/YOURDIRECTORY
For Mac and Linux, SCP can be used in the same way. Add the following lines to your SSH config file, to bypass ovsa.njit.edu from copying. vi ~/.ssh/config
Host ovsa
HostName ovsa.njit.edu
User guest
Host pipeline
Hostname pipeline.solar.pvt
User userid
ProxyCommand ssh -W %h:%p guest@ovsa.njit.edu
Software details on the servers
On Inti, when logging in for the first time, please add the following lines to your accounts ~/.bashrc file.
>>vi ~/.bashrc Insert the text given below and save it.
#### setting start ####
if [ $HOSTNAME == "baozi.hpcnet.campus.njit.edu" ]; then
source /srg/.setenv_baozi
fi
if [ $HOSTNAME == "inti.hpcnet.campus.njit.edu" ]; then
source /inti/.setenv_inti
fi
if [ $HOSTNAME == "guko.resource.campus.njit.edu" ]; then
source /data/data/.setenv_guko
fi
#### setting end ####
Both CASA 5 and 6 are available on Inti.
Enter the bash environment on inti, and load the desired casa environment. To load CASA 5, enter bash environment by giving >>bash
>> loadcasa5 >> suncasa #This should load the software making you ready for the analysis
Or to load CASA 6, enter bash environment by giving >>bash
>> loadcasa6 >> ipython #This should load the software making you ready for the analysis
Here, for example, to use clean, first start ipython as given above, then type in >>from casatasks import tclean

The .fits files of the self calibrated images at each frequency for the given time are saved at /slfcal/images_slfcaled in your working directory.
Step 5: Quick-look imaging
For spectral imaging analysis of the event, follow this tutorial using the self-calibrated data obtained from the previous step or use this link.

## If not provided, the program will generate a new one from the visibility.
## set the time interval
