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 # or 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.
