Bands

A set of zero or more CBI frequency bands.

Input Format:

A set of one or more of:

band0 band1 band2 band3 band4 band5 band6 band7 band8 band9

Where each member refers to the frequency band of the identically numbered correlator.

Examples:
 print $Bands(band2+band8)
 -> band2+band8

 # Print all band names except those of bands 3, 4 and 6.

 print $Bands(all-band3-band4-band6)
 -> band0+band1+band2+band5+band7+band8+band9

 # Set the inserted attenuation of all but band 0 to 23db.

 -> attenuate all, all - band0, 23
Context:
The CBI channelizer splits the 10GHz frequency coverage of the CBI into 10 adjacent 1GHz bands. These bands are then individually fed into 10 correlators. Commands that configure the operation of the channelizer take a Band argument which enables the user to selectively configure one or many bands in one command.
