Command line options

Code Block
titlefine_pfb_offline -h
collapsetrue
usage: fine_pfb_offline [OPTIONS]

REQUIRED OPTIONS

	-m, --metafits=FILE        FILE is the metafits file for the target observation

OPTIONAL OPTIONS

	-b, --begin=GPSTIME        Begin time of observation, in GPS seconds
	                           If GPSTIME starts with a '+' or a '-', then the time
	                           is taken relative to the start or end of the observation
	                           respectively. [default: "+0"]
	-d, --data-location=PATH   PATH is the directory containing the recombined data
	                           [default: current directory]
	-f, --coarse-chan=CHAN     Coarse channel number
	                           If CHAN starts with a '+' or a '-', then the channel is taken
	                           relative to the first or last channel in the observation
	                           respectively. Otherwise, it is treated as a receiver channel number
	                           (0-255) [default: "+0"]

	-T, --nseconds=VAL         Process VAL seconds of data [default: as many as possible]

Example of use on Garrawarla
