Monitoring the health of the correlator

The quality of the data acquired, depends on the health of the correlator for the duration of the observation. It is desirable to have flag bits in the recorded data indicating the state of the correlator at the time of the observation. There exists a planned set of parameters that are to be monitored and a method of transmitting such information to the host computer exists, but the actual monitoring has not been implemented yet. Hopefully, this will be done sometime in the future.
