A study on the two-band observations of the millisecond pulsar J0437- 4715 is carried out based on the radio data of the Parkes Observatory of Australia and the X-ray data obtained with the ASM (All Sky Monitor) in the RXTE (Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer). For the radio observations of J0437-4715 the software TEMPO2 is applied to the calibration of the timing data of different terminal systems, thereby improving the accuracy of the timing model. By taking advantage of the all-weather observations of the ASM in the RXTE, the study of the medium- and long-term light variations of the pulsar J0437-4715 at the X-ray wavelengths is carried out by means of structure function, and it is found that this pulsar has a 620 d light period in the X-ray waveband.
