Set up flagged tiles

To find which tiles need to be flagged, find the broken tiles by going to the observation status page (http://ws.mwatelescope.org/observation/obs/?obs_id=1318345216). In the section "Tile errors and flags", you will find the "TileNames" for any tiles that should be flagged. Then, in the metafits file for the observation, you will find the "Input" numbers associated with the X and Y polarisations of each tile. The numbers you need to put in the "flagged_tiles.txt" are the Input numbers divided by two (and possibly rounded down). For example, in 1318345216, Tile064 is listed as broken, and in the metafits file, that tile's polarisations are associated with inputs 144 & 145. This means that the number that goes into flagged_tiles.txt for this tile is 72. In this way, the following list is constructed for this observation.

Set up flagged channels

Setting up the flagged channels is more straightforward. As a rule, we always flag the edge channels (80 kHz worth on either side) and the centre channel. Since we have averaged up to 40 kHz when we did the offline correlation step above, that means we will be flagging the outer two channels on either side (as 2 x 40 kHz = 80 kHz) and the single centre channel. Since there are 32 channels in this case, the final list of flagged channels is:

Extra flags

After running the RTS (see below) and checking the solutions (using the python scripts supplied in VCSTools), I found that I also had to add 14 to the list of flagged channels, and 59 to the list of flagged tiles.
