|
For the v1.5 development cycle, Ralph Marson's contribution focused largely on three areas: improvements to the component handling structure, improvements to the VLA filler & improvements to msplot. Aside from this time was also spent on maintenance issues like the linux build or helping users & programmers. During this cycle Ralph moved from the Australia, where he had been working the ATNF group, back to Socorro. The details are:
Improvements to the components classes
Overhauled the component-editor tool to conform with current GUI standards
Implemented facilities for the handling of errors in components
Improvements to the VLA filler
Improved the VLA filler so that it can recognize tape labels
Improved the VLA filler so that it writes weights that are dependent on the observing bandwidth and system temperature (as well as the integration time).
Improved the VLA filler so that it automatically sets the tape drive to variable block size
Improved the VLA filler so that it will flag shadowed data.
Improved the VLA filler so that can read data from the online computers.
Improved the progress logging on the VLA filler.
Improvements to msplot
Made the plotting of measurement sets in msplot more robust
Made the editing of data, in plot mode, in msplot more robust
General maintenance issues
Spent time assisting local AIPS++ users and programmers.
Managed Linux build in Socorro AIPS++ installation (for half of this cycle)
