It is not possible to record 32K channel data at a 2s 2 s dump rate. There is generally no real need to observe at higher than 8s dump rate unless the time resolution is needed for transient observations. It has been shown that time-smearing at 8 s is not a significant consideration for MeerKAT. Details of relevant simulations and analysis can be found in the MeerKAT time smearing simulation report.
