Notes: This sub-table contains information on the processor mode applicable to the current data record.
BASEBAND_INDEX
The baseband index (1-4) configured.
ACCUM_MODE
Processor accumulation mode. For the ALMA correlator it can be 1 or 16 ms which defines the correlator chip level accumulation duration.
BASEBAND_CONFIG
Baseband configuration mode (1-66) which defines the bandwidth, polarizations and oversampling.
BIN_MODE
Single Bin = 0. Multiple bins, subarray-based (e.g., nutating subreflector or frequency switch) = 1. Multiple bins, baseline based
QUANTIZATION
Boolean selection to perform quantization correction on the lag data
WINDOW_FUNCTION
An enumerated value representing the windowing function to use: Uniform, Hanning, Hamming, Bartlett, Blackman, Blackman-Harris, Welch.
