1 NRC-E Memo# Concept for an Builder for Array and Correlator Configuration NRC-E Memo# 012 Brent Carlson, February 20, 2001 ABSTRACT The WIDAR correlator design for the E is very flexible and, as such, it has a vast parameter space within which it can operate. This is advantageous in that it provides astronomers with a flexible instrument that can be used to maximize the science output from a particular observation given the system s hardware resource limitations. owever, it is problematic in that the high degree of flexibility provided by the correlator can make it difficult for end-users (astronomers) and software designers to use and implement the almost unlimited number of modes that the correlator provides. This memo is an attempt to present an initial concept that may allow the end-users to take advantage of the full flexibility of the correlator and allow software designers to envision ways in which all of the modes the correlator provides can be programmed. Since the correlator is intimately linked with the entire array, a representative concept for array configuration is presented that is admittedly simplistic in nature and should be judged accordingly. Introduction The WIDAR correlator design [1] for the E provides a large parameter space within which an almost unlimited number of modes or combinations of modes can be envisioned. Each station/antenna input to the correlator can handle eight, 2 Gz analog bands. Each analog band can be sliced up into 16 digital sub-bands and each of these sub-bands can be any width and placement 1 in the analog band. Anti-aliasing techniques ensure that adjacent sub-band results can be seamlessly stitched together with no systematic biases but with some SNR degradation in the overlap region. If desired, overlap can be eliminated by changing the sub-band s digital filter shape, but at the cost of loss of bandwidth at the sub-band edge. The correlator contains 16 sub-band correlators 2 that can be used to correlate each sub-band, or that can be used in concert to correlate less than 16 sub-bands, but with more spectral points per sub-band. Each subband, depending on bandwidth, can be correlated to produce anywhere from 64 spectral points to ¼ million spectral points. Multiple independent and/or overlapping sub-arrays can also be defined. The advantages and problems associated with this kind of flexibility have been stated informally by various people on a number of occasions. The Builder concept in this memo demonstrates that it should be possible to 1 Within the integer sub-band constraints imposed by the signal-processing design. 2 In the current (as yet un-memo d ) design, up to 18 sub-band correlators are defined for redundancy.
2 NRC-E Memo# easily configure and use the correlator (and thus the entire array) anywhere within the vast parameter space available. Context Figure 1 is a diagram that defines the context within which the Builder concept defined in this memo resides. Astronomer Builder Modifications, t-schedule Science Case/ Proposal On-the-fly modifications File Builder Proposal Review File "s Ready Pool" File File File Dynamic, Goal-Oriented Scheduler Images Real-time Imaging Ack Config Systems and Correlator Figure 1 Diagram illustrating the context within which the Builder described in this memo resides. In the diagram, the astronomer who wishes to use the uses an Builder 3 to create a observation file. In this concept, the observation file should contain all of the information necessary to completely configure the array and the correlator (antenna pointings, receivers, local oscillators, sub-band digital filters, correlator chips etc.). This builder should be platform independent 4, be usable by any astronomer, and should not require the user to have specialized knowledge of systems. Indeed, in the builder concept presented, the word correlator is never even used. The observation file is included with the astronomer s science case for review 5. Once the observation is approved, the file goes into the s ready pool a pool of observations that are ready to be executed by the dynamic goaloriented scheduler 6. A possibility (shown with dashed lines in the diagram) is that the astronomer could change an observation s parameters on-the-fly while her observation is in progress. This would entail reading the observation file into the builder, making 3 Definitely not a new concept. owever, the astronomer s view of the necessarily requires that this builder contain details of the correlator s capabilities and that is why it is being described. 4 On a laptop, over the web etc. etc. 5 This is not new, is speculative, and is only one possible model. 6 The scheduling concept intended by NRAO for the E.
3 NRC-E Memo# allowed modifications, and writing it back out for reconfiguration by the scheduler. It may be impractical to do this with a dynamic scheduler since it may not be possible to give the astronomer enough advance notice to allow her to be involved. Straw-Man Builder A straw-man Builder GUI (Graphical User Interface) screen is shown in Figure 2. It contains four major components: the Reference Image window; the Array Settings window; the Spectrum Allocator window; and the Spectrum Planner window.

The Reference Image and Array Settings windows are representative of what might be required for a complete package. The Spectrum Allocator and Spectrum Planner windows are where the astronomer decides how to use bandwidth effectively setting the desired correlator configuration. The Timeline allows for different array and bandwidth usage during the course of the observation and is not described in any more detail in this memo. The Reference Image and Array Settings windows are not specifically required to configure the correlator but are concepts that it is believed are required for a complete package. The Spectrum Allocator and Spectrum Planner windows are where the
4 NRC-E Memo# astronomer decides what to do with available spectrum resources effectively configuring the correlator. The Spectrum Allocator and Spectrum Planner could be implemented independent of the Reference Image and Array Settings windows with an appropriate interface. The bottom window is an Timeline that allows different array and spectrum configurations to be defined within the desired observing time. Not shown (and something that could go in a generic top-of-the-screen tool bar) is an observation wizard which, when implemented, should allow any astronomer to configure the array and spectrum usage (correlator) to meet desired science requirements. Full-scale implementation of this wizard may require utilization of artificial intelligence algorithms. The following figures describe each of these windows in more detail. The Reference Image and Array Settings windows are included since they are representative of what might be required for a complete package. The Spectrum Allocator and Spectrum Planner windows are where the available bandwidth and correlator resources are planned in detail. There are many places where there is considerable coupling between windows. For example, grabbing a spectral line in the Spectrum Planner window and moving it will cause the entire associated analog band to be moved accordingly in the Spectrum Allocator.

Double-click to change attributes. Bandwidth summary: Selected sub-band velocity resolution, analog bandwidth, selected sub-band bandwidth. Polarization and pair number indicator: For single polarization this is still labelled as such. Analog band indicator: Approximate shape of analog bands. Used only for indication. Border "lights up" when this is the analog band that we are currently working in. Figure 6 Details of the Spectrum Planner window. This is the window within which the correlator configuration is really mapped out. This window allows definition and placement of sub-bands as well as the number of spectral channels allocated to sub-bands and analog bands. As can be seen, there are virtually an unlimited number of ways that sub-bands can easily be defined in this window completely matching the correlator s flexibility.
8 NRC-E Memo# Some important functions in the Spectrum Planner window are: Grabbing a spectral line and moving it causes the entire analog band to move (i.e. changes the local oscillator frequency) and is reflected by appropriate movement in the Spectrum Allocator window. This feature can be used to prevent spectral lines of interest from ending up in the overlap region between sub-bands where there is additional SNR degradation. The interference spectrum window will help astronomers decide if the spectral line of interest will be clobbered by interference. If so, hardware integration and back-end image processing may have to be adjusted accordingly. To change or view more detail on some item in any sub-window, double-click on it. To view a larger version of a sub-window, double-click in a blank part of the subwindow. Right-click on items to lock them (or unlock them if they are locked) so they can t be disturbed. This allows important parameters to be set and locked before modifying or experimenting with less important parameters. The current displayed capability is always within the correlator s capability. If the user tries to define something outside of the correlator s capability then an error message is generated (if it just can t be done), or a warning message is generated if it will have a detrimental effect on some other parameter s setting. Conclusions This document presented a concept for an Builder. This builder contains a Reference Image window, an Array Settings window, a Spectrum Allocator window, a Spectrum Planner window, and an Timeline. The Reference Image and Array Settings windows are only representative of what might be required for a complete package. The Spectrum Allocator and Spectrum Planner windows are where the full flexibility of the correlator can be easily explored and utilized by an astronomer planning an observation. The Builder generates a observation file that completely describes how the correlator (and the array) are configured for the observation.
