The CQ table to which Vivek referred has the following format:
The "CQ" table as used in AIPS
---------------------------------
Table name
'CORRELATOR PARAMETER FREQUENCY TABLE'
Table header keywords:
'NO_IF' 1 I
'REVISION' 1 I 1 at present
col name format units Comments
1 FRQSEL 1 I
2 SUBARRAY 1 I
3 FFT_SIZE Nif I FFT_size
4 NO_CHAN Nif I No. of channels
5 SPEC_AVG Nif I Spectral averaging factor
6 EDGE_FRQ Nif D Hz Edge frequency
7 CHAN_BW Nif D Hz Channel bandwidth
8 TAPER_FN Nif C*8 Taper function
9 OVR_SAMP Nif I Oversampling factor
10 ZERO_PAD Nif I Zero-padding factor
11 FILTER Nif I Filter type
12 TIME_AVG Nif F Seconds Time averaging interval
13 NO_BITS Nif I Quantization (no. of bits)
14 FFT_OVLP Nif I FFT overlap factor
I do not think we need all these things. We do need the channel
bandwidth at correlation if we are to correct amplitudes for the
non-closing loss due to non-zero delays. The VLBA correlator gives in
the CQ table the channel width after averaging done in the correlator
and the SPEC_AVG done in the correlator.
