Data Access
RadioJOVE Multiple Frequency Data Product. This data
set consists of observations made at the Hawk's Nest Radio Astronomy
Observatory (HNRAO) using a Long Wavelength Array (LWA) 4 phased crossed
dipoles square array and an FSX-2 10 bit single polarization spectrograph. These data are
generated using the Radio Sky Spectrograph software. The data set consists
of 1 channel of data. All submitted data appear to identify this
channel as RCP but the polarization is selectable as either RCP or LCP.
These data may include observations of Solar Radio Bursts, Jupiter
decametric radio emission, or Galactic Background radio emission.
The Radio-Sky Spectrograph produced datafiles consist of a fixed length header and a variable
length note. The data portion of the file for two channel data
consists of an 8 byte timestamp using the VisualBasic 6 date format
(days since 1 Jan 1900) followed by two 8 byte data values (Channel 1 followed by Channel 2),
this pattern repeats until the end of file. More details can be
found in the Data File Structure document on the Radio-SkyPipe help
page (see Information URL).
These data are submitted to the RadioJOVE Archive and to the
PDS/PPI archive at UCLA.

Available at this site is a description of the Observatory facilities, a manual for the Terminated Folded Dipole antenna, and a guide to reading the binary data file produced by the Radio-SkyPipe software.
The page "Radio-SkyPipe data file structure" describes
the file standard.
The time array of the data. The time resolution is
variable but is typically set at about 0.15 seconds
