CLEA: Taking Data Once the telescope is in place, you can start to observe. Click “Receiver.” To start taking data, click “Mode.” The x-axis of the data is time, and the y-axis is radio strength. By clicking, “Add Channel,” you can make the telescope observe the pulsar using multiple set-ups.
8
CLEA: Data Analysis “Freq” changes the frequency being observed “Freq incr” is the amount by which you change the frequency “Horz secs” is the amount of time shown on the x- axis “Vert gain” controls the radio “magnification”
