5.4.1.6. Variability
This section shows the variability than can be expected and any constraints on specific use cases of the interface or particular aspects of the interface.
Note that parameter values for modes shown in this section are expected or typical values and are provided for information only. This interface does not constrain parameter values unless explicitly stated as a constraint. Actual parameter values will be chosen by Telescope Manager (for each scheduling block and its scans) according to the requirements of the observation and any constraints imposed by components of the telescope [AD6].
The transient buffer data is complex (dual polarisation) voltage data with n bits of resolution. The data is captured from a 330Mhz band selected from wideband (voltage) data critically sampled from the receptor that Pulsar Search uses to search for transients. The data is captured for 2s prior to the transient event and up to 60s after the event. The observation configuration determines how much of this data is transferred to SDP.
