All of the above discussion on scattering timescales would seem to suggest that the best-case scattering time could be taken into account when addressing requirements SKA1-SYS\_REQ-2961 and SKA1-SYS\_REQ-2962. However, there are reasons why we may wish to resolve the scattering tail of a given pulsar and so somewhat arbitrarily imposing a time resolution limit based on scattering is viewed as undesirable. This being said, we do not want requirements that imply extremely computationally expensive operational modes and as such a limit must be determined on the minimum time resolution as a function of DM. In the next section we will attempt to provide such a limit based on keeping the computational cost of coherent dedispersion to a reasonable level.
