The 'observe_pulsar' application is just a script that wraps around the underlying Gnu Radio flow-graph, which you can always use directly. I'll consider adding some kind of "do this immediately" option to 'observe_pulsar'. The script also assumes that your system clock is set correctly, otherwise, it cannot make a correct determination of your LMST. I'll also comment that a 1-minute observing run on any pulsar for an amateur instrument is going to produce a worthless observation. But for testing, sure.

Hi there,
I've managed to install everything according to the .doc, but I'm having a hard time understanding how the longitude parameter (
-74.4057
in this case) works. As far as I understand, it's there to automatically begin the observation when the source rises above the horizon? What's weird is that regardless of what longitude I set, it never seems to begin acquiring data immediately. Why is that? Is there a way to begin observing immediately without checking if the pulsar is above the horizon (just for testing purposes)?Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Trying to use a USRP B210 at 1410 MHz with 1 MHz bandwidth with a gain of 73 dB and observing duration of 1 minute (in case that matters)
