For the phase structure function data the intervals for a single baseline are calculated for Bob's structure function with the following:
for (t = 1, nsfp = 0; t < ANALYZE_LEN / 2 && nsfp < NUMSFP - 1;) {

              sf[nsfp].span = t;
              t = (t < 256) ? t * 2 : t + 256;
	      nsfp++;
}

Where ANALYZE_LEN = 6000 (10 minutes of data) and NUMSFP = 21;

so the intervals are 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 768, 1024, 1280, 1536, 1792, 2048, 2304, 2560, 2816

The call to Bob's structure function is:
strfn(phase_struct_points, NPOINTS, sf, nsfp, baseline);
phase_struct_points = array of 6000 atmospheric phase points
NPOINTS = 100
sf = pointer to structure function
nsfp = 19 from above for loop
baseline = baseline

Bob Wilson's description of strfn.c

'> /* strfn calculates the structure function of an array of phase points.
'> * Each call to strfn should pass npoints of new phase data in the array
'> * points. The new points will be put in the local buffer. If at least
'> * ANALYZE_LEN points have been acquired, strfn returns true, calculates the
'> * structure function and puts the results in the array of sfp structures.
'> * nsfp is the number of spans to be calculated. The spans to be calcualted
'> * must be passed to strfn in the sfp array. After the first call,
'> * structure function will be calculated incrementally unless nsfp is
'> * changed, so the array of nsf structures should not be changed between
'> * calls unless nsfp is also changed forcing a complete recalculation.
'> * If fewer than ANALYZE_LEN points have been acquired, strfn returns
'> * zero and does no calculation.
