Description

I am trying to simulate data in XX and YY only, but pyuvsim currently only supports Npols=4.

Research direction

Start by tracing where Npols=4 is enforced and how XX and YY polarization data enter the simulation path. Confirm the expected behavior for simulations containing only XX and YY, then verify that such inputs run successfully without requiring four polarizations.
