msconcat (Measurement Concatenation Utility)
============================================

The *msconcat* utility is used to concatenate measurement sets.

The intended use-cases of this tool are:

- Concatenate measurement sets from different observations into a single
  measurement set. It is used, for example, to create a single
  measurement set from multiple scheduling blocks.
