But another possibility is that the correlation runs from 054200 to 054205 at the geocentre, and if the recorded data duration was only 5 seconds long but at the telescope, then the geometric delay will mean than a few milliseconds of data will be chopped off.

I'm not sure what Jan's code is that you're referring to (is it something that filters e.g. your 2 GHz band down to 128 MHz in a chosen window?) If that is the case, what is the input - already quantised 2 bit VDIF data?
