Calibration node code.
Refer to setup.py, or just run pip install -e . You will need to install
katsdpservices, katsdpsigproc and katsdptelstate separately from Github. You
will also need a redis server (2.8.19+).
The simulator can be run manually, or using a shortcut script. See the help of the various scripts to see what parameters are available and their meanings. The simulator uses either an H5 or MS file as the data source.
Start a redis server
Run the h5 Telescope State simulator:
sim_ts.py --telstate 127.0.0.1:6379 --file <file.rdb/h5/ms>
Run the pipeline controller:
run_cal.py --telstate 127.0.0.1:6379
Run the h5 data stream:
sim_data_stream.py --telstate 127.0.0.1:6379 --file <file.rdb/h5/ms>
You can pass --max-scans to restrict the number of scans to replay from a large file.
This additionally requires
tmuxp (0.8.1+)
run_katsdpcal_sim.py --telstate 127.0.0.1:6379 --file <file.rdb/h5/ms> --max-scans=7 --keep-sessions
The shortcut simulator runs each of the five commands above in separate tmux sessions, named redis, sim_ts, pipeline and sim_data respectively.
The multicast groups and the ports for the servers need to be chosen to avoid conflicts with anything else that happens to the running on the system; the values given are just examples. The instructions below are for two servers, but it can scale up to higher numbers.
Start a redis server
Run the Telescope State simulator:
sim_ts.py --telstate 127.0.0.1:6379 --file <file.rdb/h5/ms> --substreams 2
Run the pipeline controller (in parallel):
run_cal.py --telstate 127.0.0.1:6379 --l0-spead 239.102.254.0+1:7148 --l0-interface lo \ --servers 2 -p 2060 --server-id 1 run_cal.py --telstate 127.0.0.1:6379 --l0-spead 239.102.254.0+1:7148 --l0-interface lo \ --servers 2 -p 2061 --server-id 2
Run the h5 data stream:
sim_data_stream.py --telstate 127.0.0.1:6379 --file <file.rdb/h5/ms> \ --l0-spead 239.102.254.0+1:7148 --l0-interface=lo \ --server localhost:2060,localhost:2061
