I'm not sure if this is why so many tim file result in messages like:
Data points out of range in clock file '/Users/kaplan/pythonpackages/PINT_dlakaplan/src/pint/data/runtime/time.dat'
If I change the starting MJD for the CHIME file to 50,000, then for a file containing only CHIME TOAs that message goes away. It wasn't a big deal, but it was causing some confusion.
This is easy to fix, but it could be done via:
changing the minimum allowable MJD
and/or
changing the starting MJD of the clock files

Part of the confusion is that TEMPO/TEMPO2 used to not do any remotely sensible extrapolation of clock corrections, so people would put in a clock correction for MJD 99999 in hopes that the interpolation would do better. These don't represent actual clock data, and can confuse a naive reader about what times the clock correction file actually covers. Handling of data before the first, I think, is similar. Nevertheless we do need a way to represent these "clock correction is zero forever" files, and maybe also to correctly handle the fake-extrapolated clock files. I think special cases may be in order.
In
time.dat
it has entries:which are supposed to be for a default barycenter. Similarly, the correction file for CHIME is:
but as far as I can tell from
clock_file.py
it will reject any times before 39000:I'm not sure if this is why so many tim file result in messages like:
