SAMPRATE

SAMPRATE is used to set the sample rate in million samples per second. Only one value is used for all baseband channels. This is usually, but not always, twice the baseband bandwidth specified with BBFILTER. Not used for Mark II.

If not specified, twice the maximum bandwidth will be used, if BBFILTER was specified.

Note that the SAMPRATE should not be less than 2 Mbps for the VLBA (may change with Mark5B). That is the minimum track bit rate and the fan-in capability was never activated so lower sample rates cannot be recorded.

• Argument: Sample rate in million samples per second.
• Options: 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, or 32
• Default: 0 - Default from BBFILTER
• Usage: Defaults to previous station.
• Example: SAMPRATE=4
