The AT rack has very specific outputs - sampled data streams of standard bandwidths. Polarimetry will be discussed at a later meeting, but one may note here that the Bonn polarimeter should be accomodated with this scheme, since four IFs will be provided. Equally, the AT correlator could be used. Setup and monitoring. The computer interface will not follow the AT model.
Interference is always a potential problem.
Some difficulties have been detected with the National GPIB unit, as well as leakage from the present focus cabin unit. These represent a modest investment and will be maintained, revised and supported as required. Debate on this issue was postponed to the next meeting. Alan Wright is in the process of compiling a list of the current utilities, identifying their functions, usefulness and ideosyncracies. Data formats for spectral line processing.
