VEGAS Pulsar BOF File Status

This page describes the status of the VEGAS Pulsar Mode bof files.

The naming convention for the mode names (and bof files) is encoded with this information:

MODE TYPE BANDWIDTH x # OF CHANNELS
where:
  • MODE TYPE will either be "i", "c", or "f" to represent "incoherent", "coherent", or "fast search", respectively
  • BANDWIDTH will either be 0100, 0200, 0800, or 1500 which represents the bandwidth in MHz
    • Note-- leading zeros are used for this to maintain consistent bof file name character lengths.
  • x is simply the character "x" as a delimiter between BW and # of channels
  • # OF CHANNELS will either be 0032, 0064, 0128, 0256, 0512, 1024, 2048, or 8192.
    • Note -- leading zeros are also used here for the same reason as above.

Example, the incoherent, 512 channel mode with 1500MHz BW will carry the name: i1500x0512

Example, the coherent, 128 channel mode with 200MHz BW will carry the name: c0200x0128

Also, note that all letters in the names must be lower case due to a restriction by the build tool filename.

Testing status is pass/fail:
  • Initial simulator tests (loading bof file and writing psrfits data in simulator)
  • Final simulator tests (taking multiple short and single long scans in simulator with timing analysis)
  • Initial GBT tests (taking basic scans of noise diode or pulsar)
  • Final GBT tests (taking scans of an MSP w/ flux calibration and basic timing analysis)

Production VEGAS Incoherent mode bof files

These tables contain a new column labeled "Parent/Child". This is intended to assist in the build process.

The "Parent" designs will require development time to sort out all the issues so that they work properly.

The "Child" designs only require a few minor edits to the associated "Parent" design, and a subsequent rebuild, meaning no development is required to generate these bof files, assuming they build successfully and meet timing of course.

The "Priority" columns below are based on the VEGAS Pulsar Mode Table here: VEGAS Pulsar Mode Table
