enable primary beam correction in spimple-imconv

[MikaNaidoo]

How does one go about enabling the primary beam correction for this command. I have specified the beam but the primary beam correction is not being applied.

How did you specify the beam? Can you please provide the command you used?

[MikaNaidoo]

I used the following command:
spimple-imconv -image /home/mika/ladumaredux/pipeline/output-20240513/1602964865_sdp_l0.8k-J03323_28075-corr-2GC2-MFS-image.fits -o pbcorimage.fits -band l

Ah, you need to either pass in a fits power beam model as -bm /path/to/beam.fits (you can make one using the spimple-binterp app if you have the beams somewhere) or just use KatBeam with -bm JimBeam. The latter is less accurate but much easier. Note that you can apply the beam on the fly if you are using this for spectral index maps by using the same parameters for the spimple-spifit app

Thank you this worked perfectly!
