NAME
vmeselectrcv - create a subset of an AO datafile containing 1 receiver (or
all but 1 receiver).
SYNTAX
vmeselectrcv -n rcvrnumber <inpufile > outputfile
ARGS
-n (not). The output will contain all but the specified
receiver.
rcvrnumber This is the receiver to include (or exclude if -n is used).
The current receiver numbers are:
1-327,2-430,3-610,4-notInUse,5-lbw,6-lbn,7-sbw,8-sbhi,9-cb,10-notInUse,11-xb,12-sbn,16-noise,100-ch
inputfile,outputfile.. these are AO binary datafiles (correlator or ri).
DESCRIPTION
vmeselectrcv will create a subset of a A0 binary datafile.
The new file will include only the specified receiver or if the -n option
then it will contain all but the specified receiver. You need to be a little
careful using this program. The datafiles can be up to a few gigabytes
so the destination disc partition needs to have enough space to hold the
output file (don't send the outputfile to your home directory).
RELATED PROGRAMS
cordmp will dump a summary of a correlator datafile to see what is there.
EXAMPLES
-
Suppose someone ran x111 rfi monitoring while the cband receiver
was down for repairs. You could remove the cband data from the file using:
vmeselectrcv -n 9 < /share/olcor/corfile.17aug02.x111.1>corfile.17aug02.x111.1.norcv9
You would probrably then want to rename the new file to the old filename.
This assumes you have permissions to overwrite the old file.
-
Grab only the cband data from the previous file.
vmeselectrcv 9 < /share/olcor/corfile.17aug02.x111.1>corfile.17aug02.x111.1.onlyrcv9
This routine can also be abused. To process a particular receiver in
a datafile it is better to add an option to the program to just process
that receiver rather than duplicate the data.
