rawspec currently supports an 8bit and more recently a 4bit input.
The ATA beamformer will output samples at 16 and 32 bit (half and single precision float).
The beamformer output will be saved in a guppi format, which I currently assume can support this bit rate. It would be a great addition to rawspec to make it handle the above input bit size.
It's also common in astronomy to use 16 and 32 bit integers, so maybe this is worth a discussion as to how this could be treated within the code. Maybe an additional guppi header parameter
