ASAP doesn't read/recognise the source coordinate information from RPF files written with the Hobart multibeam correlator (standard ATNF multibeam correlator setup). For example scans = scantable('c071070506.rpf') scans.summary() Shows mostly correct information, but the RA and Dec are given as 00:00:00 etc for all sources.

This is not just a superficial problem, but it means that the velocity scale is incorrectly set as well. The coordinate information is written in the RPFITS file as it is correct when the same data is loaded with spc.

Please contact me for a sample file.

If you try and read RPFITS files directly from a DVD, rather than copying them to the harddrive first, ASAP returns the error:

ASAP>data = scantable('/Volumes/METHMB_PIGGYBACK_20/2007-04-29_2143_G5523501.rpf') Auto averaging integrations Importing /Volumes/METHMB_PIGGYBACK_20/2007-04-29_2143_G5523501.rpf...

When the same files are copied to the harddrive (with everything else the same), the files can be read OK.

Can the smooth/boxcar method please have an option to select between mean (currently) and median running average.

Either as a new option or a new kernel type.
