LWA Software Library Documentation¶
This package contains a collection of tools for reading, format shifting, and analyzing LWA data. It also contains the majority of the lwa_user library developed by NRL.
Note
LSL 4.x targets post-upgrade (NDP) stations only. If you need to work with pre-upgrade data from the DP or ADP era (TBW, TBN, TBF formats), please use LSL 3.x.
