[Difx-users] Correlation for VDIF real and complex data format

[Adam Deller]

Hi Zhang Xiuzhong,

The two published DiFX papers have reasonable descriptions of the
algorithms being used:

http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2011PASP..123..275D
http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2007PASP..119..318D

The reference manual (
https://www.atnf.csiro.au/vlbi/dokuwiki/lib/exe/fetch.php/difx/difxuserguide.pdf)
has a lot of information on how to run DiFX, as does the wiki (
https://www.atnf.csiro.au/vlbi/dokuwiki/doku.php/difx/documentation). You
might like to start by running one of the example datasets available at
https://www.atnf.csiro.au/vlbi/dokuwiki/doku.php/difx/datasets, although
there is not as yet an example VDIF dataset.  From the DiFX viewpoint,
however, the format of the input data is not a big deal; if you can
correlate the VLBA format data, you will be able to correlate VDIF data.

Cheers,
Adam
