PocketCorr

This is a KATCP-based pocket correlator for single ROACH boards.

Documentation

Documentation for pocketcorr can be found here: http://astro.berkeley.edu/~domagalski/pocketcorr/

Installation

All you need to do is run python setup.py install and the software will be installed. The name of the script that recieves data from the ROACH is called pocketcorr_rx.py. So far, this will only work on a ROACH, as the Simulink model for the ROACH2 hasn't been written yet. The .bof file to be run on the ROACH is provided in the fpga directory of the rpoco8 git repo. It must be placed in the /boffiles directory on the ROACH so that KATCP knows that it exists.

Dependencies

This software requires the modules aipy, corr, SNAPsynth, and whatever those modules depend on. The default calibration files can be found in the capo repo, and the path to where the calibration files are located must be in your PYTHONPATH.

Credits

This software is heavily based upon the rpoco8 software, and uses the same Simulink design from the rpoco8 repo.
