This pipeline represents the CWL implementation of existing LOFAR1 functionality in the Pulsar Pipeline (PulP) by means of the `digitize.py` script written by Marten van Kerkwijk to be run in the LOFAR operational framework. The script itself was slightly modified to run in Python3. Please note, that the pipeline is still in development, so some changes in the workflow and documentation might happen in the future. +This is a [Common Workflow Language (CWL)](https://www.commonwl.org/) pipeline to convert LOFAR raw beamformed complex-voltage (XXYY) 32-bit HDF5 data to 8-bit HDF5 data.
