PST Processing Mode

class ska_control_model.PstProcessingMode(value)

Python enumerated type for PST processing mode.

The PST processing mode defines the type of signal processing performed by the Pulsar Timing sub-component when the observing mode is PULSAR_TIMING (see ObsMode).

DETECTED_FILTERBANK = 3

Detected filterbank PST processing mode is active.

This mode generates data products that are time- and frequency-resolved spectra with configurable time and frequency resolutions. This mode has previously been referred to as Dynamic Spectrum.

FLOW_THROUGH = 2

Flow through PST processing mode is active.

This mode generates channelised, voltage data at a reduced bit-depth, channel span or polarisation span.

IDLE = 0

The PST processing mode shall be IDLE when the observing state is IDLE (see ObsState). Otherwise it will correctly report the appropriate value.

PULSAR_TIMING = 4

Pulsar timing PST processing mode is active.

This mode generates frequency- and pulsar phase-resolved averages of polarised flux for the observed pulsar.

VLBI = 5

Very long baseline interferometry PST processing mode is active.

This mode generates re-channelised voltage data formed into a VDIF UDP data stream. This PST processing mode will only be used on the SKA Low telescope.

VOLTAGE_RECORDER = 1

Voltage recorder PST processing mode is active.

This mode records the channelised, voltage data from the Correlator Beam Former’s PST tied-array beam.
