View MWA Correlator observation info

MWA and MWAX correlator mode:

• Frequency averaging: 10 kHz
• Integration time: 1 second

Even though the array was in long baseline mode, we decided to take the observation in a mode which both correlators support. MWA normally runs at 0.5 sec integration time, however MWAX supports 0.4 or 0.6 seconds. So it was decided in the interest of comparing like with like to run both at the next best setting they have in common: 1 second integration times.

Observation duration:

• MWA: 120 seconds
• MWAX: first 40 seconds
