PSRSalsa is a versatile open-source pulsar data-analysis project designed to obtain a comprehensive picture of the radio properties of your pulsar of choice. Here its usefulness is demonstrated through the analysis of the radio pulsar B1839–04, thereby revealing the extremely rare phenomenon of “bi-drifting” where the drift direction of subpulses is systematically different in different pulse profile components.
