• ~bmason/mustangidlbin/ contains .pro files which are IDL modules & README-mustang.txt lists module details.
  • ~bmason/mustangPub/ contains mustangIDL - running this sets up IDL for mustang FITS files
  • /home/gbtdata/JUNK/Rcvr_PAR has PAR FITS files.
  • how to read in the FITS files and plot:
q1=readparfits('./myfilea.fits')
q2=readparfits('./myfileb.fits')

; for col 0 row 1
plot,q1.dac[*,0,1]
oplot,q2.dac[*,0,1]

do help,q1,/struct to see a list of available structure members, any of which can be plotted with the above syntax. I think the frame counter is in there too which is the really useful diagnostic for this thing
-- you can also put the DFBs in signal generator so the DAC signal has a predictable shape and you can see the jumps in both frame counter and the DAC signal.
