Observations with a swept frequency machine show that the shapes of individual pulses from NP 0531 are truncated exponentials with widths proportional to λ~4, consistent with the broadening arising from scattering in the interstellar medium. A histogram of pulse intensity reveals two different populations. The very strong pulses are associated only with the main pulse and interpulse.
