5.3.1.6.2. Pulsar Timing Mode data rate

Pulsar timing data input to SDP will be folded pulse profiles (data cubes) in a sequence of files, one for each sub-integration.
The data volume per beam is given by: MPT:BEAM = nsub x (Msubint + Mmetadata)
Where:
The data rate per beam is given by: RPT:BEAM = MPT:BEAM / Tscan bytes/s
Data rates will depend on the number of pulsars observed simultaneously, as well as the values of the timing parameters. Examples of data volumes and rates of the 2 Pulsar Timing observing modes using the parameters from Table 15 are given in Table 16.
