Parameter | Type | Inco/Coh | Range | Units | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
mode | string | Both | {c,i}{800,1500}x{0..8192} | none | In pulsar modes, the mode string encodes the dedispersion method, bandwidth, and number of frequency channels as follows: [ddmode][bw]x[nchan]. ddmode is either i (incohernet) or c (coherent), bw can be 1500 or 800, and nchan can be a power of two from 64 to 8192 (incoherent) or 64 to 4096 (coherent). For example, c0800x0512 is coherent dedispersion, 800 MHz bandwidth, and 512 frequency channels. i1500x2048 is incoherent dedispersion, 1500 MHz bandwidth, and 2048 frequency channels. |
