Advanced functions: create a radio-map with RUviz
!
When you want to record the faint radio waves coming from radio sources outside of the Solar System, the data
processing is critical. That's why we designed RUviz software (RadioUniverseVisualizer) which allows you to import
data captured by RadioUniverse and process them in a very simple and fast way. In this way it is possible, starting
from the registration of several consecutive transits of the sky area that you want to analyze, to create radio maps
of faint radio sources such as Cassiopeia A and Taurus A. In order to start the software, double-click on "RUVIZ.exe"
file (no need for installation). A window will appear, like the one shown here.
!
RUviz uses special algorithms in order to to reduce the signal drift caused by the change of the antenna pointing.
Other features allow you to minimize the drifts due to variations in ambient temperature. Select "File" then "Open
File": A window will open where you can select the file RUD format (RadioUniverse Data) to process.
RUviz will open the file and will display its data:
- at the top left you can see the real radio map with the coordinates of Right Ascension and Declination
- in the lower left you have the map of the sky with radio sources, if present, indicated in yellow
- in the lower right you have one of the transits that are part of the radio-map
- on the left you have the display and saving options
