The data must be a single dynamic spectrum stream with frequency and time dimension, typically at zero-DM, i.e. *not* dedispersed. `scatfit` includes various methods to RFI clean the data.

If `scatfit` does not find the burst location automatically, you can set it manually using the *binburst* commandline option. Run `scatfit` several times while changing the input DM to the best-determined one reported in the `scatfit` output until the DM converges (no significant DM change). Use the converged best-determined DM as input for a final `scatfit` run with the large MCMC chains, i.e. without the *fast* option. +Tweak the sub-band *S/N* threshold as required for your data.
