Description

Qt Interface for Pulsar timing

This is a graphical interface for Pulsar Timing packages. It is currently under construction, but it is planned to be compatible with:

• Tempo2
• libstempo
• PINT
• Piccard
• ...

It works with an embedded IPython kernel. That's where all the calculations are performed.

At the moment, not all the extended functions of Plk are implemented.

Requirements:

• numpy
• scipy
• matplotlib, for plotting only
• tempo2
• libstempo
• PyQt (see below)
• Qt
• IPython >= 2.0
• pygments
• pyzmq
• jdcal
• pyephem

PyQt on OSX

Installing PyQt on OSX can best be done with macports or homebrew. If done with homebrew however, be aware that you need to add the libraries to your path by adding the following line to your .profile:

export PYTHONPATH=/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages:$PYTHONPATH

Background info
