Asdm 7.1.2 Download
Irmgard Verzi
I went digging through the install directory and found what i was looking for in asdm-launcher.sh which appears to be the java initialization script the launcher uses. (C:\Program Files (x86)\Cisco Systems\ASDM\asdm-launcher.sh)
Example target: "F:\JavaASDM\jre6\bin\javaw.exe" -Xms64m -Xmx512m -Dsun.swing.enableImprovedDragGesture=true -classpath lzma.jar;jploader.jar;asdm-launcher.jar;retroweaver-rt-2.0.jar com.cisco.launcher.Launcher"
From: -on-ubuntu/td-p/3067651Subject: Installing ASDM on Ubuntu.Here is what I do. Install java web start (aka icedtea).sudo apt-get install icedtea-pluginThen I have a single line script, which I call asdm. javaws https://$1/admin/public/asdm.jnlpMake it executable: chmod +x asdmThen to run ASDM on say, 1.2.3.4: ./asdm 1.2.3.4This doesn't require any web browser, or web browser support. It just uses the native installed java directly.
How is this helpful? Well, it shows you the anagrams of asdm scrambled in different ways and helps you recognize the set of letters more easily. It will help you the next time these letters, A S D M come up in a word scramble game.
NOTE: importevla has now been deprecated, andimportasdm combined with flagdata should be used toimport JVLA data, as explained in a dedicated section below.
The importasdm task will fill SDM1.2 and SDM1.3 format datainto a CASA visibility data set (MS). The importasdm task supportsall changes in the ALMA ASDM made since the previous CASA release(an up-to-date description of the most recent tables of the SDMcan be foundhere).ALMA data were recorded in SDM1.2 format from October 2009 untilMay 2011. Since May 2011, ALMA is using the SDM1.3 format. Inparticular, all science data from Cycle 0 onward will be inSDM1.3. The JVLA started using SDM1.2 in October 2009, butcurrently also uses SDM1.3. The importasdm task can read allof the above formats. For the default parameter settings forimportasdm, see the Examples tab.
As of CASA 5.4, the task importevla is no longer available toimport JVLA data. The functionality is replaced by importasdm,which is also being used by the VLA pipeline. However, severaladditional steps are required to duplicate the behaviour ofimportevla when using importasdm, involving a difference indefault parameters and the fact that some of the on-the-goflagging cannot be performed by importasdm.
While online flags can thus be created by leaving the parameterprocess_flags = True by default, additional flagging steps needto be performed after importasdm to flag zero values andshadowing of antennas:
WARNING: The task flagdata can only write out theflag commands for that invocation of flagdata. The defaultoverwrite=True must be used to overwrite an existing file. Inorder to save the commands from all 3 possible flagging steps(importasdm, zero, and shadow) each step must be saved to aseparate file, which must then be concatenated into a singlefile to be used to flag the data.
For the parameter lazy, if the default value False is chosen,importasdm will fill the visibilities into a newly createdDATA column (FLOAT_DATA for total power data) of the MS convertingthem from their binary format in the ASDM to the CASA Tableformat. If lazy is set to True, the task will create theDATA/FLOAT_DATA column with an ASDM-specific storage manager, the(asdmstman), which enables CASA to directly read the binary datafrom the ASDM with on-the-fly conversion. No redundant copy of theraw data is created.
You must not delete your ASDM. You can, however, move it butyou have to update the reference stored in the MS. Symboliclinks will work. See below on how to use the tool methodms.asdmref to manipulate the ASDM reference.
The lazily imported MS is numerically identical with thetraditionally imported MS and so are all results derived from theMSs. The setting lazy=True might be made the default setting infuture CASA releases. An important additional tool to manipulatelazily imported MSs is the method ms.asdmref in the MS tool.If the MS is imported from an ASDM with option lazy=True, theDATA/FLOAT_DATA column of the MS is virtual and directly reads thevisibilities from the ASDM. A reference to the original ASDM isstored with the MS. If the ASDM needs to be moved to a differentpath, the reference to it in the MS needs to be updated. This canbe achieved with ms.asdmref. The method takes one argument:abspath. When called with abspath equal to an empty string(default), the method just reports the currently set ASDM path oran empty string if the ASDM path was not set, i.e. the MS was notlazily imported. If you want to move the referenced ASDM to adifferent path, you can set the new absolute path by providing itas the value of abspath to the method.
Note that while online flags can thus be created by leaving theparameter process_flags = True by default, the additionalflagging steps need to be performed after importasdm to flagzero values and shadowing of antennas, in order to replicate thebehavior of the deprecated task importevla. See the CASA Docspages on importing(u,v)-datafor details.
