Add OpenMCT Telemetry Viewer to F-Prime GDS #2161

Affected Component

Feature Description

An OpenMCT Telemetry viewer in F-Prime GDS would involve creating a plugin that would:

  1. Take in the TopologyAppDictionary.xml and generate OpenMCT JSON Definitions
  2. Poll the F-Prime GDS API for telemetry and publish the data to an OpenMCT server

Ideally, the user would just run the command fprime-gds and an OpenMCT server would start as a separate tab, along with the standard F-Prime GDS server. The user would get access to all the F-Prime telemetry channels in the OpenMCT server, which would display the channels in real time.

Rationale

Currently, the way to view telemetry in F-Prime GDS is via the charts tab and the channels tab. The current telemetry views allow for raw timestamp viewing and individual plots of telemetry. OpenMCT allows for additional customizability with telemetry viewing. Users can create layouts with multiple telemetry channels, and visualize telemetry in a much more refined manner(stacked/overlay plots, gauges, tables).

We may want to make this rely on the results of https://github.com/nasa/fprime/issues/2268 if possible

We now have a plugin architecture for the GDS: https://github.com/fprime-community/fprime-gds/pull/164 🎉

I am marking this as help-wanted. If anyone from the community would like to take a pass at this, we have a pilot implementation here: https://github.com/fprime-community/fprime-gds/pull/136

The OpenMCT integration could be spun up into a plugin that we could publish in fprime-community.
