Data Processing
On December 07, 2020 Jon had an email discussion with Wael Farah. Wael is a SETI Institute employee and is developing the new SNAP board based correlator. He gave me some insights into the data we can expect from the ATA.
File Format
The data will be in the Breakthrough Listen Raw Data Format. See https://github.com/UCBerkeleySETI/breakthrough/blob/master/doc/RAW-File-Format.md for an explanation.
The details are sketchy to me, even with Wael's explanation. So I need to investigate with some real data. He states:
For a single antenna, parsing the full 4096 channels, and assuming 4bits real + 4bits imaginary, the maximum throughput for a single snap board is 2 GBytes/s
Data
Regardless of the format
