Ciao Morag,

It is not a full CASPER instrument, so maybe a marginal case: the ALMA Phasing 
System <https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1538-3873/aa9c3d/pdf> (APS) 
is a retrofit of a VLBI beam forming capability to the non-VLBI capable ALMA 
Correlator, <https://www.aanda.org/articles/aa/pdf/2007/05/aa4519-05.pdf> which 
was designed a non CASPER proprietary ASIC-FPGA instrument.  The APS used 
CASPER ROACH2 boards (and non-CASPER flow HDL firmware) as the hardware 
platform for the “Phasing Interface Cards” or PICs, of which there are eight in 
the system.  The PICs are shown in figure 2 and also in figure 7 of the first 
linked reference.

While it’s not a holistically CASPER instrument, the APS is a very significant 
facility instrument at a very important radio telescope. I’d be interested to 
hear whether CASPERites feel it warrants inclusion in your list, and how it 
should be described.

Best wishes,
Jonathan
