CLEA: Known PulsarsTo look at a known pulsar,
turn Tracking on;
click “Hot List” and select the pulsar;
confirm that you would like to move the telescope.

CLEA: Taking Data
Once the telescope is in place, you can start to observe.
Click “Receiver.”
To start taking data, click “Mode.”
The x-axis of the data is time, and the y-axis is radio strength.
By clicking, “Add Channel,” you can make the telescope observe the pulsar using multiple set-ups.

CLEA: Data Analysis“Freq” changes the
frequency being observed
“Freq incr” is the amount by which you change the frequency
“Horz secs” is the amount of time shown on the x-axis
“Vert gain” controls the radio “magnification”
