Hi everybody,

The new multibeam splitter is getting close, and astropulse is, too. Really. This time for sure.

In order to use the new splitter I'm going to need to reorganize the database to add some new fields to the receiver configuration table, and some new elements to the analysis configuration. In order to do that without causing too much havoc, I'm going to need to shut down work creation, and (later) assimilation.

So on friday, I'll turn of the beta splitter. On monday, I'll turn off assimilation. During the normal tuesday reorganization, I'll make the changes, and if all goes well, the multibeam splitter will start on tuesday afternoon.

So don't be too worried about "No new work" messages over the weekend.

The multibeam receiver is capable of receiving signals from 7 points in the sky at the same time and isn't quite so restricted to only pointing in the direction that other scientists at Arecibo desire.
 
Astropulse is a new way of interrogating the data to look for natural sources of radiowaves such as pulsars and quasars.
The first pulsar ever detected was mistaken for little green men. :eek: :D
(Actually they were scared it was the Russians first and then decided it was martians).

Useful science from SETI, whatever next? :p ;)
