The ‘dishes’ field is a list of dish names that the SPFRx should be configured for, if ‘all’ is specified in the list, the SPFRx will be configured for all dishes.

ConfigureBand1(DevBoolean) → DevVarLongStringArray: If the synchronise argument is True, the SPFRx FPGA is instructed to synchronise its internal flywheel 1PPS to the SAT-1PPS for the ADC that is applicable to the band being configured, and the band counters are reset.

(Should be default to False).

ConfigureBand4(DevBoolean) → DevVarLongStringArray: If the synchronise argument is True, the SPFRx FPGA is instructed to synchronise its internal flywheel 1PPS to the SAT-1PPS for the ADC that is applicable to the band being configured, and the band counters are reset. (Should be default to False).

ConfigureBand5a(DevBoolean) → DevVarLongStringArray: If the synchronise argument is True, the SPFRx FPGA is instructed to synchronise its internal flywheel 1PPS to the SAT-1PPS for the ADC that is applicable to the band being configured, and the band counters are reset. (Should be default to False).

ConfigureBand5b(DevBoolean) → DevVarLongStringArray: If the synchronise argument is True, the SPFRx FPGA is instructed to synchronise its internal flywheel 1PPS to the SAT-1PPS for the ADC that is applicable to the band being configured, and the band counters are reset.
