Comments:

The system delivers two basebands, 1.3-2.6 GHz and 3.0-6.0 GHz. Currently, it is only possible to record both bands in parallel for pulsar observations (timing and search mode), but not yet for continuum or spectroscopic observations.
Usable / useful continuum bands are e.g. 1.405-1.415 GHz, 1.66-1.67 GHz, 4.7-5.0 GHz, 5.3-5.6 GHz.

EDDPOL3G	spectro-polarimeter backend for continuum observations in the upper band	with 64k channels
EDD_PULSAR_TIMING	pulsar folding mode observations	coherent dedispersion, configurable channels and subints
EDD_PULSAR_SEARCH	pulsar search mode observations	coherent filterbank, configurable channels and time samples (down to 32$\mu$s)
