Changes and bug fixes (per Barry and Ken):

  • Added configId attribute; removed obsolete FEfilter and BWcode attributes.

SVN tag(s) for this release:

2.1.3 (23 Jun 2010)

  1. Bug fixes and omissions needed to set up three bit samplers.

  1. A change in formulation of autophasing. The recommended form for invoking autophasing is now:
    • phs = subarray.registerPhasing(String subbandName)
to connect the object phs to the phase listener, and
    • subarray.usePhasing(phs)
connect the object phs to the phase and delay calculations.

X band still doesn't phase - the simple fix I had in mind didn't work.

  1. An optional change in the way scan numbers and subscan numbers are generated. They are currently generated by the Executor internally. To cause them to expect to be provided by the script instead, include in the script the statement:
    • subarray.useState(0).

Then scan and subscan numbers must be set and manipulated through the methods:

    • subarray.setScanNumber(int n)
    • sebarray.setSubScanNumber(int m)
    • subarray.scanNumberPlusPlus()
    • subarray.subScanNumberPlusPlus()

  1. A bugfix that sometimes causes scans shorter than ten seconds to be skipped.

2.1.2 (17 Jun 2010)

The Executor update of May 13, 2010 introduced a bug in which it is possible that the delay models for the first 10 seconds of a scan are sent at the beginning of the previous scan, and then no further delay models are sent until the end of that scan.
