Appendix C: Frequently asked questions

We hope that this page will develop into a set of useful questions and answers about the tempo2 software and usage.

• How do I increase the number of observations that can loaded in tempo2? Use "-nobs x" on the command line where X is the number of observations required (the current default is 10000 observations).
• How do I deal with a leap second? Add in the MJD corresponding to the time of the leap second in $TEMPO2/clock/leap.sec (for tempo1 emulation) and in $TEMPO2/clock/utc2tai.clk for tempo2 files.
