Popis: We describe the procedure, nuances, issues, and choices involved in creating times-of-arrival (TOAs), residuals and error bars from a set of radio pulsar timing data. We discuss the issue of mis-matched templates, the problem that wide- bandwidth backends introduce, possible solutions to that problem, and correcting for offsets introduced by various observing systems.
Comment: 15 pages, 3 figures, accepted for publication in a Focus Issue of Classical Quantum Gravity devoted to Pulsar Timing Arrays
