antabfs.py: avoid duplicated times #11

Open bmarcote opened 2 years ago

bmarcote commented 2 years ago

In the current version, the produced ANTAB file may exhibit duplicated timestamps with different Tsys values. This happens because multiple tpi values were obtained in a too short period of time. Given that these timestamps get averaged when written into the ANTAB file to only tenths of a second, different measurements may lie into the same written timestamp.

This should be avoided as breaks some downstream compatibility when having multiple values for the same time.

I simple approach is to ignore consecutive Tsys values until the output timestamp is different.
