(values)[source] [edit on github]¶ Encode 8 bit VDIF data.
We follow mark5access, which assumes the values 0 to 255 encode -127.5 to 127.5, scaled down to match 2 bit data by a factor of 35.5 (
EIGHT_BIT_1_SIGMA
)For comparison, GMRT phased data treats the 8-bit data values simply as signed integers.
