…t-1927325521

The X-engine baseline selection happens on a per-polarization level - i.e. it is possible to select baselines of arbitrary polarization, e.g. all XX pols. The fast correlator output has two packet formats, one allows arbitrary selection while the other is COR-standard and assumes that each packet contains data from all 4 polarization-products of a station pair.
If using this output format (which the LWA-OVRO correlator typically does) the baselines selected are assumed to be in sets of 4 where each 4 consecutive baselines are the 4 pol-pairs of a single station pair. In this case, the 4 baselines selected must match the polarization order expeted by the COR format.

@jaycedowell Can you confirm that the data recorder expects this order? If so, I'll deploy it for testing.

Yep.
