For projects that were imaged using the pipeline after April 2017, scriptForPI.py may produce an error when trying to restore data.

scriptForPI.py will not split out the calibrated science SPWs into

uid_*.ms.split.cal if the imaging pipeline was used, which

scriptForImagingPrep.py looks for, causing the scriptForPI.py to break.

If you only want the calibrated data, it is sufficient to stop here and

use the uid_*.ms, keeping in mind that the calibrated data is stored

in the CORRECTED data column, and all sources are in the ms.

If you want to run the imaging pipeline, you can start from here,

without changing the uid_*.ms.

If you want to run scriptForPI.py all the way through, change

<<usedimpipe = True>> to <<usedimpipe = False>> in L59 of scriptForPI.py and run.

if ( nummkim > 1 ):

    print "Imaging pipeline was used."

    usedimpipe = False
