Fringe stopping is available for voltage-capture (VCS) observations. In this case, the voltage data files will have whole-sample delays applied to each RF channel and fractional delay metadata will be populated in the file headers. Voltage data files are also upgraded to allow for commensal research users accessing VCS data to selectively enable or disable fringe stopping after-the-fact, irrespective of the configuration requested for the original observation. Over the coming days, this page will be updated with a full schema for the upgraded voltage data files and software for applying/removing fringe stopping corrections.

Implementation

A technical summary of the MWAX fringe stopping implementation will be published soon as part of the forthcoming MWAX paper, a detailed description of the design and validation will be published shortly thereafter.
