simpulse: C++/python library for simulating pulses in radio astronomy
Right now there isn't much here, just a class representing a single channelized, dispersed, scattered pulse. In the future I may add more features (e.g. pulsars and scintillated pulses).
-
You'll need the following prerequisites.
- C++ compiler which supports C++11
- Cython (installation hint:

sudo yum install fftw-develorbrew install fftw)
-
Create a file
Makefile.localdefining a few Makefile variables (see brief description inMakefile, or one of the examples insite/) -
Do
make all install -
