bscrunch()

template<class Container >

void Pulsar::bscrunch	(	Container *	container,
		const ScrunchFactor &	factor
	)

Integrate phase bins.

Integratee phase bins.

find_spike_edges()

void Pulsar::find_spike_edges	(	const Profile *	profile,
		int &	rise,
		int &	fall,
		float	pc = 0.2,
		int	spike_bin = -1
	)

Find the bin numbers at which the flux falls below a threshold.

Works out where the instantaneous flux drops to

Parameters

pc	percent of the flux in
spike_bin.	This routine is designed for use of single pulses where the duty cycle and hence integrated flux is low.
