Short transient grid search

An example grid-based search for a short transient signal. By default, the standard persistent-CW 2F-statistic and the transient max2F statistic are compared.

You can turn on either BSGL = True or BtSG = True (not both!) to test alternative statistics.

This is also ready to use on a GPU, if you have one available and pycuda installed. Just change to tCWFstatMapVersion = “pycuda”.
