Example build script on Garrawarla
This is mostly for posterity given that Garrawarla's decommissioning at the end of 2024. It should help those down the line on other compatible systems (i.e., where xGPU is available).

...
Key | Existing Value | Set To | Notes |
---|---|---|---|
MODE | MWAX_VCS | MWAX_CORRELATOR | Required |
INT_TIME_MSEC | a default set by the M&C system | 250-8000 | This is the correlator integration time (in ms) |
FINE_CHAN_WIDTH_HZ | a default set by the M&C system | 200-1280000 | This is the correlator frequency resolution (in Hz). E.g. 10000 would be 10 kHz. |
FSCRUNCH_FACTOR | a default set by the M&C system | 1-6400 | The 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_CHAN | a default set by the M&C system | 1-6400 | Redundant info but must be compatible with FSCRUNCH_FACTOR and FINE_CHAN_WIDTH_HZ. E.g. 128 for 10kHz fine channels |
EXPOSURE_SECS | the duration of the VCS observation | The 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_ID | The original obs_id of the VCS observation | The 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_OFFSET | The 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. |
