PRESTO Timing

PRESTO can be used for generating timing files for use with tempo(2). 

To start, a standard prepfold command should be run, though to use the output archives for timing the -nosearch flag must be used, as a result you will need a well-timed target (good entry in psrcat) or an existing ephemeris file on hand for the folding. 

Once you have a -nosearch pfd generated, you can use the get_TOAs.py script to generate TOA .tims to process with tempo(2).
