Abstract
The advancement in signal processing and GPU based systems has enabled new transient detectors at various telescopes to perform much more sensitive searches than their predecessors. Typically the data output from the telescopes is in one of the two commonly used formats: psrfits and Sigproc filterbank. Software developed for transient searches often only works with one of these two formats, limiting their general applicability. Therefore, researchers have to write custom scripts to read/write the data in their format of choice before they can begin any data analysis relevant for their research. \textsc{Your} (Your Unified Reader) is a python-based library that unifies the data processing across multiple commonly used formats. \textsc{Your} implements a user-friendly interface to read and write in the data format of choice. It also generates unified metadata corresponding to the input…
