Help

ASAP has built in help for all functions. To get a list of functions type:

  ASAP> commands

To get help on specific functions, the built in help needs to be given the object and function name. E.g.

  ASAP> help scantable.get_scan
  ASAP> help scantable.stats
  ASAP> help plotter.plot
  ASAP> help fitter.plot

  ASAP> scans = scantable('mydata.asap')
  ASAP> help scans.get_scan # Same as above

Global functions just need their name

  ASAP> help average_time

Note that if you just type help the internal ipython help is invoked, which is probably not what you want. Type ^-d (control-d) to escape from this.
