Detailed Description

Policy used to determine if two archives match.

Member Function Documentation

match()

bool Pulsar::Archive::Match::match ( const Archive *  a, const Archive *  b  ) const

virtual

Check that the selected attributes match.

This method checks each of the archive attributes for which the check flag is set. If a pair of checked attributes does not match, the result of this function is set to false and an appropriate message is added to the reason attribute. If all checked attributes match, the result is true.

set_check_calibrator()

void Pulsar::Archive::Match::set_check_calibrator

(

bool

flag = true

)

Set to check that a calibrator may be applied to an observation.

This state defines the minimum set of observing parameters that should be equal (within certain limits) before a calibrator may be applied to a pulsar observation. The following flags are set

• check_receiver
• check_centre_frequency
• check_bandwidth

set_check_mixable()

void Pulsar::Archive::Match::set_check_mixable

(

bool

flag = true

)

Set to check that two archives may be combined.

This state defines the set of observing and processing parameters that should be equal (within certain limits) before two archives may be combined (for instance, using append). This method calls:

• set_check_standard
• set_check_processing
• set_check_calibrator

set_check_processing()

void Pulsar::Archive::Match::set_check_processing

(

bool

flag = true

)

Set to check that two archives have been processed identically.

This state defines the minimum set of processing parameters that should be equal before data from two archives are combined. The following flags are set:

• check_scale
• check_faraday_corrected
• check_dedispersed
• check_nchan

set_check_standard()

void Pulsar::Archive::Match::set_check_standard

(

bool

flag = true

)

Set to check that a standard and observation may be compared.

This state defines the minimum set of observing parameters that should be equal before two archives are compared, as during the fitting of a profile to a standard template. The following flags are set:

• check_state
• check_type
• check_source
• check_nbin
