The next step is to convert the existing snp file into one which will control the flexbuff recordings appropriately. This is done via a script at present - please use the following commands <code>cp aum001hb.snp aum001hb.orig.snp | The next step is to convert the existing snp file into one which will control the flexbuff recordings appropriately.

+ | Updated: The DBBC3KE (which will be recording the X-band data is now configured. "correlation statistics" might be slightly lower from the DBBC than expected (~16000000 rather than 18000000+). It hopefully won't be too much of an issue (Lim: cited from Jamie). Use the following script instead: | ||

The newly created aum001hb.snp file retains the timing of the source commands, scan names and times but calls a script to run the recorder and omits many of the typical procedures like preob, etc. **NB - do not use the line number entries in the sum file!** | The newly created aum001hb.snp file retains the timing of the source commands, scan names and times but calls a script to run the recorder and omits many of the typical procedures like preob, etc. **NB - do not use the line number entries in the sum file!** | ||

* No RF configuration is needed for the X-band data recorded through the DBBC3, but it is necessary to set the inputs on the 26m's remote backend (e.g "the folly" or "PalfreymansBackend".

Refresh the Folly display with 'r' and confirm that **S/X SRCP** and **S/X XRCP** are highlighted for channels 1 and 2 respectively. | * No RF configuration is needed for the X-band data recorded through the DBBC3, but it is necessary to set the inputs on the 26m's remote backend (e.g "the folly" or "PalfreymansBackend".
