Detailed Description

PdevFile reads baseband data from the Mock Spectrometers at Arecibo.

Data in pdev format from the Mocks comes in a multi-file format where only the first file in the set contains a 1024-byte header. The rest of the file, and all subsequent files, contains 8-bit complex dual pol single-channel samples. These are in the same format as is handled by ASPUnpacker.

Since the pdev header does not contain a full description of the observation, we use an ASCIIObservation style header. dspsr should be pointed at the ASCII header file (not the data files). The DATAFILE keyword gives the base file name for the set of files. In a given set, file 0 must be present. DATAFILE should contain only the 'base' of the file names, for example:

p2613.20110323.b0s1g0.00000.pdev

The correct base name is 'p2613.20110323.b0s1g0'.

The first file in the set contains the obs start timestamp, so its index must be stated via the STARTFILE keyword.

The ASCII file must have INSTRUMENT set to 'Mock' for this class to recognize the file.
