Hi C.phil,

There doesn't seem to be anything unusual with the file that you listed. I've just tried loading it with the latest atlod, and got no errors:
atlod in=2010-10-11_0326.C2426 out=test.uv options=birdie,rfiflag,noauto,opcorr,xycorr

atlod: Revision 1.35, 2011/02/06 22:46:40 UTC

Flagging channels in 22 frequency ranges
Processing file 2010-10-11_0326.C2426
CABB data detected
Scan 1 started at 10OCT11:03:26:54.9
Source: 1934-638
RPFITS file version is unknown
---------------------------------------
Total number of spectra selected: 6600

There was no flagged data
---------------------------------------

No CACAL data was detected
Could you please reply here if you are using a different set of options to load the data, and continue to get the error with the latest atlod?
cheers

I've just loaded this data without any problems.
Maybe your data file got corrupted in transfer?

Cheers,

Mark

Hi folks,

We are getting the same problem here at Swinburne on the green machine. I ran the same test on the ATNF machines and all is well. Both Swinburne and ATNF are using
atlod: Revision 1.35, 2011/02/06 22:46:40 UTC

I just tried this:

atlod% inp
Task: atlod
in = 2009-05-31_0519.C1794
out = atfile.test
ifsel =
restfreq =
options = birdie,rfiflag,xycorr,noauto
nfiles =
nscans =
edge =
atlod% go



At Swinburne the response is:

atlod: Revision 1.35, 2011/02/06 22:46:40 UTC
Flagging channels in 22 frequency ranges
Processing file 2009-05-31_0519.C1794
CABB data detected
### Fatal Error: IF_NUM(i).ne.i ... I do not understand
atlod%


While at ATNF the response is this:

atlod: Revision 1.35, 2011/02/06 22:46:40 UTC

Flagging channels in 22 frequency ranges
Processing file ../2009-05-31_0519.C1794

Suggestions???
Thanks,
Sarah.

Ok - we managed to overcome the weird "### Fatal Error: IF_NUM(i).ne.i ... I do not understand" error by removing a line in the atlod code that causes the fatal error. Then all seems to process okay. Quoting Luke "however it is still odd (and mildly alarming) to me that the same dataset worked with their build of the code."

Any sugestions folks??

Cheers,
Sarah.

Sounds like a build issue or the like. How does your build setup (compiler, linux version, rpfits library version etc) compare with the atnf one?

Cheers,

Mark
