I don't remember seeing one that high, however, I haven't been doing this very long. It finished early too, usually it takes around 40 minutes.
Found 30 single pulses and 30 repeating pulses, exiting.
percent blanked: 0.00
Interesting...

That's the astropulse early exit which serves the same function as result_overflow in MB tasks. It doesn't happen as often because there are separate limits of 30 for the two basic types, where MB quits on a total of all types it processes.

The zero blanking indicates there wasn't a huge amount of RFI, but that comes in all kinds and amounts so is the most likely cause. But we're here to find the very unlikely possibilities...

It appears to have found an active area. Here's another one that threw down the slide-rule and raised it's hand in half the time as the last;
Found 30 single pulses and 30 repeating pulses, exiting.
percent blanked: 0.00

This one almost reached the point;
single pulses: 22
repetitive pulses: 30
percent blanked: 0.00

It would be nice to know if we are analyzing reruns of Gilligan's Island or if something more interesting is making all that noise. If I had the coordinates I could look it up on the program Starry Night and see if there are any Pulsars close by...

If I had the coordinates I could look it up ...

The coordinates are in the WU files (both for astropulse and MB):

You only get Azimuth & Zenith readings for the AP? The Azimuth is 'upside down' similar to an optical scope? It would be much easier with a RA & Dec as with the MB. I'm not sure how to decipher the az & zen readings given. If you could work that out to simple AZ & ALT from Arecibo I could use that...

Where do you obtain a copy of the File? Say, this one; ap_12no12aa_B3_P0_00126_20121217_25009.wu

Thanks. The RA & Dec is a little lower in the data. I got;

From Arecibo, that would be around 0120 Nov 12th, pointed around AZ 86 degrees & ALT 77 degrees, in Orion. According to Starry Night, there were 2 Pulsars within 4 degrees of that location at that time. PSR0614+2229 & PSR0633+1746
How wide is the Arecibo FOV?

I'm still getting these noisy, short AstroPulses. I'm having a hard time getting any at all, but the last two I managed to receive have been;
Run time 1,418.59
single pulses: 27
repetitive pulses: 30
percent blanked: 0.00
&
Run time 882.86
Found 30 single pulses and 30 repeating pulses, exiting.
percent blanked: 2.88

What's up with that?

The ones on my other slower machine appear 'normal', Tasks for Computer 6796475

Of course, the slower machine is loaded with tasks whereas I can't seem to receive any on the faster machine...
