[daip] Simulating spectral line data

[Andy Biggs]

Dear daip. I'm trying to detect an emission line by stacking the spectra 
of many sources detected in a wide-field dataset. I would like to 
simulate some data as a check on my stacking procedure. I would 
therefore like to add, preferably to a u,v dataset although to an image 
cube would also work, multiple sources that are located at multiple 
positions, but crucially in different channels. It seems that UVMOD will 
not allow me to do this as the bchan and echan adverbs will just copy 
out the requested channel. Is there a relatively easy way to do this in 
AIPS? Or would I need to be chopping datasets up and reassembling them?

Cheers,

Andy
