The following are all the modes possible with MWAX configured as:
- 128T (16 RRI receivers)
- 24 x 1.28 MHz non-oversampled channels
- No fringe-stopping
Legend:
The value in each cell is the total of all data from all coarse channels, in gigabytes, generated in 1 second (GB). Multiply by the duration to get total size of your observation in the mode chosen.
| Blue cells | Supported | Modes selected for testing during science commissioning (same as legacy correlator) |
| Green cells | Supported | Modes which are new to MWA and which are supported |
| Orange cells | Unsupported | Modes which take more than 8 seconds to process 8 seconds of input data, or which generate more than 100 Gbp/s (thus not sustainable), and thus not selectable normally |
| Yellow cells | May be supported | Modes pending more testing (for throughput and also if the mode has a fine chan width which is not an integer), but which may end up being supported |
