MSETUP INPUT
[MRTCAL\]MSETUP INPUT Keyword Switch
[MRTCAL\]MSETUP INPUT BAD YES|NO
Choose if the command READ should read the bad time dumps (in addition
to the good ones) from the backendXXX tables (including the DATA col-
umn). A bad time dump has a null ISWITCH value, and its associated data
(e.g. MJD, INTEGTIM) are not expected to be correct. Default is YES.
[MRTCAL\]MSETUP INPUT BANDWIDTH Value
Setup the desired reading bandwidth in MHz. The nearest value that al-
lows the division of the good spectra channels of each chunkset in equal
virtual chunk sizes will be used. Exceptions are:
- if value is 0, use the native hardware chunk size (no subdivision),
- if value is larger than the native hardware chunk size, the latter
is used instead (same as 0),
- if value is lower than the channel spacing, the latter is used in-
stead (all channels calibrated individually, use with caution).
Default is native chunk size.
[MRTCAL\]MSETUP INPUT DATA NONE|ONTRACK|ALL
Select how Mrtcal should read the DATA column:
- NONE: no data is read. Useful to read the other IMB-FITS tables and
avoiding the DATA column which may be large (save time and/or memo-
ry).
- ONTRACK: read only the on-track part of the DATA column, according
to the subscan start and stop MJDs.
- ALL: real the whole DATA column, including the off-track parts.
Default is ONTRACK.
[MRTCAL\]MSETUP INPUT MJDINTER YES|NO
Choose if the command READ should intersect the DATE-OBS and DATE-END
(on-track range) of the subscan with the MJD columns in the tables An-
tenna Slow, Antenna Fast, and Backend Data. It may happen that one of
these columns are too short and the data dumps can not be processed.
Setting YES means that the associated dumps in this missing range won't
be considered on-track anymore. Default is NO.
[MRTCAL\]MSETUP INPUT TOCHUNK YES|NO
Choose if Mrtcal should map the DATA column into chunksets at read time.
NO means that you won't be able to do anything but READing the raw DATA
into the internal buffers, and accessing from the VARIABLEs. YES is
needed for calibration. This is the default.
