Time Series File showing Power to 3DP #18

Hi There

Love your work. I have a 2.3M dish that I have planning on going live with VIRGO in a couple of weeks, meanwhile I was generating some data with PICTOR to play with.

I ran a test on Pictor and when I looked at the Time Series data it appears that the Relative Power column is only showing 3DP "0.010" across all time time slots. I am assuming that Column 1 is Time & Column 2 is Relative Power.

The graph is displaying values to 6DP.

See below.

Thanks for the feedback!

I've just pushed this fix to Virgo 3.6.7 and updated PICTOR to use that. The precision has been increased to 6 decimal places and is now much more readable.

And yup, the first column is indeed time and the second is the relative power.

Perfect, I have just tested and can confirm the fix.

What is the best way to interact around PICTOR & VIRGO outside of issues, do you have a user forum?

Regards Dave

There used to be a Discourse page (forum) for discussions related to PICTOR and (radio) astronomy, but maintenance was a bit costly (mostly in terms of my time, and partially hosting costs as CPU allocation is higher hosting more web pages online).

Ok understood, thanks
