PulsarMon Update February 2006, Giovanni Santostasi, McNeese State Univerisity

What was recently accomplished Fixed memory leaks: PulsarMon seems stable at this point We are measuring noise at 59.5 Hz. Noise is more closer to value at 59.6 (Crab emission freq.) than at the interpolation point used previously (noise was grossly overestimated) We have written code that uses a finer resolution for spectrum (1/60 of Hz) to come closer to actual noise at 59.6 Hz The code is running in test mode on fortress. We have a problem due to old version of dmt to get the right values of the PSD at low frequency. This is going to be fixed soon

What needs to be done next Implement FOM4: cumulative PSD over the time of current time. Fix the problem with visualization of ellipticity of known pulsar. Intermediate goal: make HTML page with values (this can be easily done because I have code to do calculations and it works).
