Stacks time series data (such as those created using sub-band dedispersion) to form filterbank data. The time series files can be input in any order of frequency. The data files should be in the SIGPROC .tim format.

Usage:

• -h or --help: Display this usage information.
• -n or --nsamp samples: Number of time samples read in one block (default is 4096 samples).
• -g or --graphics: Turn on plotting.
• -m or --colour-map name: Colour map for plotting. Supports some of the standard MATLAB colour maps, plus a few more. Valid colour map names are given below (default is 'jet').
  • 'autumn'
  • 'blue'
  • 'bone'
  • 'cool'
  • 'copper'
  • 'gray'
  • 'gray-inv'
  • 'hot'
  • 'hot-inv'
  • 'jet'
  • 'pink'
  • 'spring'
  • 'summer'
  • 'winter'
  • 'RdBu'
  • 'BuRd'
• -i or --invert: Invert background and foreground colours in plots (default is white on black).
• -e or --non-interactive: Run in non-interactive mode.
• -v or --version: Display the version.

The data file name may be a composed of standard shell wildcards such as * or ?.

Example:

Stacks the time series in data.band0.tim, data.band1.tim, ..., data.band100.tim, assuming that there are no other files in the current directory that match the wildcard expansion of 'data.band*.tim'.
