"can be set by reading in a data file using the :meth:`pyuvdata.UVBeam.read`\n"
"method or by setting them directly on the object. Some of these attributes\n"
"are `required`_ to be set to have a fully defined data set while others are\n"
"`optional`_. The :meth:`pyuvdata.UVBeam.check` method can be called on the\n"
