tempo.hlp

Usage: tempo [options] [filename]

options:
  -a            Write Earth-Sun-Pulsar angle for each TOA to file phisun.tmp
  -b            Give zero weight to any TOA not in an existing DMX range
  -c            Do all requested iterations, even if apparently converged
  -C            Write GLS data covariance matrix to datacov.tmp
  -d<path>      Path to 'tempo.cfg', default: environment variable 'TEMPO'
  -e            Write barycenter-topocenter doppler factors to doppler.tmp
  -D            Write design matrix to design.tmp (unformatted)
  -f<par>       Over-rides the default parameter file name with <par>
  -g[O]         GRO mode; 'O' is single-letter observatory code
  -G            Generalized least squares fit 
  -h            Help (prints this message)
  -j            Output JUMP values in xxx.par file
  -J            Apply JUMPs after barycenter correction (normally done before) 
  -k            Write dmx range number of each TOA to dmxn.tmp
  -l<xx>        Max number of parameters to be fit (guides memory allocation)
  -m<xx>        Max number of TOAs to be fit (guides memory allocation)
  -no<file>     Write out absolute pulse numbers to file
  -ni<file>     Get absolute pulse numbers from file
  -o            'Old-style' parameters at head of <fname>
  -p            Parameters corrected for pulsar space motion
  -r            Save the partial-derivatives file, resid1.tmp 
  -s0           No solar system DM corrections (no value other than '0' allowed)
  -v            Print out version number
  -w            less output to tempo.lis; no resid2.tmp
  -x            Make an export file in ITOA format
  -z	        Compute polynomial coefficients for predictions 
  -Z<par>=<val> New method for specifying polynomial coefficient calculations
                Any -Z parameter invokes this mode and minimizes tempo output
                -Z parameters are:
                Parameter: Default:      Description:
                PSR                      Pulsar name (same as PULSAR)
                PULSAR                   Pulsar name (same as PSR)
                OBS                      Observatory (same as SITE)
                SITE                     Observatory (same as OBS)
                OUT        polyco.dat    Output file name
                START      current time  Start time for polyco block
                NCOEFF     15            Number of coefficients
                FREQ       1420          Radio frequency of observation
                SPAN       60            Time span in seconds for polyco block
                                           (xxxH or xxxM for hours or minutes)
                TOBS       1             Observing time in hours
                                           (xxxM or xxxS for minutes or seconds)
