$ make CUDA_ARCH={{gpu_sm_arch}} NSTATION=256 NFREQUENCY=6400 NTIME=56 NTIME_PIPE=28
$ make install prefix=/usr/local NSTATION=256 NFREQUENCY=6400


Warning

xGPU's NSTATION has a minimum of 16 and MUST be in increments of 16. So, for example, if you need to correlate 136T, then NSTATION needs to be 144 because 136 is not a multiple of 16. 144 is the next closest multiple.

KeyExisting ValueSet ToNotes
MODEMWAX_VCSMWAX_CORRELATORRequired
INT_TIME_MSECa default set by the M&C system250-8000This is the correlator integration time (in ms)
FINE_CHAN_WIDTH_HZa default set by the M&C system200-1280000This is the correlator frequency resolution (in Hz). E.g. 10000 would be 10 kHz.
FSCRUNCH_FACTORa default set by the M&C system1-6400The number of 200 Hz ultrafine channels to scrunch together into a fine channel. E.g. for 10 kHz fine channels set this to 50
NFINE_CHANa default set by the M&C system1-6400Redundant info but must be compatible with FSCRUNCH_FACTOR and FINE_CHAN_WIDTH_HZ. E.g. 128 for 10kHz fine channels
EXPOSURE_SECSthe duration of the VCS observationThe duration of the correlator observation you want.Must be in unit of 8 seconds, matching the total number of subfiles you wish to correlate per coarse channel * 8.
OBS_IDThe original obs_id of the VCS observationThe first SUBOBS_ID of the data you want to correlate

So if you have a VCS observation and want to correlate only from 80 seconds in, then you need to make OBS_ID==SUBOBS_ID==the gps time at 80 seconds into the VCS obs.

OBS_OFFSETThe 8 second offset for this subfile for the original VCS observation.The offset you need for your correlator observation.

The first subfile in your correlator observation should be 0. Next will be 8, and so on.
