How
useful
are
tools
developed
for
HIPASS
for
ALFA
surveys?

Tools
developed
for
HIPASS
Livedata:
On­line/off­line
processing
software
.
removes
bandpass
.
calibrates
the
spectra
.
applies
doppler
tracking,
smoothes
and
baselines
the
spectra
.
has
an
excellent
capability
for
visualising
calibrated
spectra
Gridzilla:
takes
spectra
from
a
collection
of
bandpass­calibrated
measurement
sets
and
writes
a
3­plane
cube
Both
are
aips++
packages
(Solaris/Linux,
not
Mac)
See:
http://aips2.nrao.edu/docs/cookbook/cbvol3/node6.html
for
desciption
of
tasks
Both
were
specifically
designed
for
Parkes
Multibeam,
but
could
be
easily
modified
to
work
for
ALFA

``pskread''#
``alfareader''
--
Converts data to glish
format which can be
continuously read
.
Time dependent bandpass
estimate, depends on
observing strategy
.

RFI treatment

Modify line spread function by clever smoothing (convolution)

Issues
.
AIPS++ support?

Date rate Parkes: 1024ch * 2pols * 13 beams every 5 sec= 26* 1 kByes/sec
.
ALFA data rate: 8194 * 2pol * 7 beams ~ factor of 5 bigger than Parkes
