| - | The PSRIX/PSRIX2 instruments are based on the ROACH boards, which are designed and developed by the [[https://casper.berkeley.edu|CASPER consortium]]. These bare boards were turned in to pulsar instruments with firmware developed in-house, additional network switches and a small cluster of high performance computers. This configuration has resulted in a versatile infrastructure that enables the Effelsberg 100-m to observe pulsars over a wide range of radio frequencies. The instrument is designed to generate the three different types of data products (baseband, search mode and folded pulsar profiles) normally encountered in pulsar observations. | ||

| - | The [[pulsarinstruments:psrix_psrix2:psrix:index|PSRIX]] generates the three types of data with a maximum bandwidth of 500 MHz. The [[pulsarinstruments:psrix_psrix2:psrix2:index|PSRIX2]] generates predominantly search mode data up to a bandwidth 8 GHz. | ||
