Configuration numbers

The configuration numbers generally follow the rules given below:

When a single frontend channel is feeding more than one subsystem, the two subsystem configurations are given numbers 2xxyy.

  • xx are the input channel numbers for the two subsystems:-
    0 is IF input channel 1
    1 is IF input channel 2
    4 is IF input channel 3
    5 is IF input channel 4
    
  • yy are the number of subbands for each subsystem:-
    0 is 1 subband
    1 is 2 subbands
    4 is 4 subbands
    8 is 8 subbands.
    
(PS: don't ask! The codes are to allow 1-bit correlation (odd numbers) and more than 4 IF channels in the future).
