insitu test mode is incomplete #23

Open laroque opened 9 years ago

laroque commented 9 years ago

Running test_mantis_digitizer with testtype=insitu fails because there is currently no active write process to interact with the running digitization processes.

The best solution would be a "test" compatible writer. I suggest one that prints maybe the first 10 values of each record to stdout so that a user can see that records are being produces and possible that they have reasonable values (assume the digitizer has a sensible input).

Note that insitu testing has only been tried with the u1084a, but part of the idea is that it is part of the digitizer base class and should come along automatically for any digitizer.

This is not currently a high-priority item, so it's being pushed to the Mantis 3.x milestone
