5.3.1.6.6. Flow
Through Mode data rate
The data cube may be stored in multiple files, with many samples per
file (e.g 10 seconds).
The data volume per beam is given by: MFT:BEAM =
Mcube x Tscan / tsamp
bytes
Where:
-
Flow Through mode data cube size: Mcube =
nchan x npol x ndim x
nbits /8 bytes
The data rate per beam is given by: RFT:BEAM =
MFT:BEAM / Tscan bytes/s
The data rates and total output data volume for this mode, depend on the
parameter values chosen. Examples of data volumes and rates of flow
through mode using the parameters from Table 19 are given in Table 20.
