The operator will supply an input path, output path, and a group_size for the purpose of summing. For every every group_size time samples of the input data, the utility will sum the data element values into one total based on the polarisation index and fine-requency channel index. This summing is performed for each polarisation index and each channel index within a given polarisation.
E.g. if the group size = 3, then for polarisation index 1 (relative to 0) and channel index 42 (relative to 0), the sum for time samples 21 through 23 (relative to 0) for single element outdata[7, 1, 42] is given by:
indata[21, 1, 42] + indata[22, 1, 42] + indata[23, 1, 42]
The number of output samples = input array time dimension integer-divided by group_size. If the remainder of that division > 0, then the excess samples from the input array are dropped.
E.g. if the group size = 3 and the input data has 62 time samples, then the last 2 input samples are discarded.
The summing group size must be >= 2 and < input data time dimension.
Note that the tsamp header field in the output is set = the group size multiplied by the input tsamp value.
