cor_new

DESCRIPTION

"cor_new" is an XF-type software correlator dedicated to 1-bit AD data supporting a variety of data formats, such as Mark5B, VDIF, ADS, OCTAD besides K5/VSSP, and carries out cross correlation processing using an apriori file. Correlated data are output to a file with a "cout" format. Auto-correlation or cross correlation with zero apriori value are also available.

-ch2 ch2Y define Y channel for X CH# 2 (default 2).
.........
-ch16 ch16Y define Y channel for X CH# 16 (default 16).
-orule naming_rule set naming rule of output file name
0 : use program default (cout.txt)
1 : coutNNNNtxt (deflt) where NNNN is 4 digit serial number
2 : coutEXP_CODE/coutYYDDDNNNNXYG.txt
      where   EXP_CODE -- experiment code

                  YY   -- 2 digit year

                  DDD  -- 3 digit day of year

                  NNNN -- 4 digit scan number

                  XY   -- baseline id (2 char or 4 char)

                  G    -- Frequency group (a|b|c|d)
3 : coutYYDDDNNNNXYG.txt
      where   YY   -- 2 digit year

              DDD  -- 3 digit day of year

              NNNN -- 4 digit scan number

              XY   -- baseline id (2 char or 4 char)

              G    -- Frequency group (a|b|c|d)
(default is COUT_NAMING_RULE in cor_head.h)
-odir outdir set output file directory. Default is COUTDFLT in cor_head.h
-rfoffset rf_offset set RF frequency difference between Y and X (RFy-RFx)(Hz)
-cout cout_file set output file name compulsory. If this parameter is set, naming rule and out directory are ignored.
-frstep frstep set fringe phase calculation step in samples
0: automatic calc
1: every 1 sample
8: every 8 sample
N: every N sample. (Note: N can be any number, but 1000/N must be integer)
default is FRSTEP_FX_COR (in cor_head.h)
-frauto set frstep=0 (automatic calculation mode)
-fall pcalf set PCAL frequency of all channels compulsory (kHz)

-f2 pcalf2 set CH2 PCAL frequency compulsory(kHz)(kHz)
................
-f16 pcalf16 set CH16 PCAL frequency compulsory(kHz)(kHz)
