- | ==== Effelsberg pulsar observers meeting ==== | ||
- | |||
- | Meeting in E1.08 on 26 Sep 2018, 13-14:00 hrs | ||
- | |||
- | Attending: Michael, David, Gregory, Henning, Kuo, Ramesh | ||
- | |||
- | A not-so-complete list of improvements | ||
- | |||
- | - Meta data on PSRIX (ROACH1) data products. Receiver, BW are not correctly recorded. Solution is to move to PSRFITS where some of the parameters can be set correctly. | ||
- | - PSRFITS issues on beegfs. To check with Willem for a possible solution. | ||
- | - ROACH2 output has no proper header information - source/position etc. - fix this | ||
- | - Possibility to control the instruments via Obsinp. | ||
- | - Telescope data from multicast/broadcast? Put data in to a shared memory, so others can take look. | ||
- | - broadcast may disappear in 2-3 yrs, and multicast is the way to go. In 2-3 yrs when control system is replaced | ||
- | - The broadcast stream has incorrect data when the "new control system" is used. | ||
- | - Check if multicast has sensible data. The multicast stream is not really in the spirit of a XML structure. | ||
- | - 10dB gain slope across the C+ bands - saturates parts of the spectrum and under-samples the higher end | ||
- | - to be addressed in the attenuation/gain unit (proposal/requirements with Gundolf). | ||
- | - ROACH2 w/iADC and ROACH1 to operate in parallel | ||
- | - Check ROACH2 w/ interleaved ADCs if performance has improved with new chassis and calibration | ||
- | - Check ROACH2 w/ ADC in non-interleaved mode and compare with ROACH1 (after chassis modification) | ||
- | - To test all four cores of the ADC to verify the performances of the cores |
