[Difx-users] Question : What library/code is DiFX using to read VDIF files

>> If your question is a licensing one

Nope its not that.

So I take it DiFX uses Mark5access, yes ?

Hi Stuart




Just wondering if we can use the DiFX VDIF library/code instead ?


It is not clear what your question actually is.

The initial VDIFIO library I wrote had *no* sampling unpacking routines. Others may had added some, I am not sure. Without that the answer would be essentially be no. VDIFIO is in no way a plug in replacement for mark5access.

If your question is a licensing one, then yes as all of DFIX is GPLv3 now.

Cheers
Chris
