    Description

      Summary

      Design for PST beam delay model:
      https://confluence.skatelescope.org/display/SWSI/WIP+%3A+Design+for+PST+Beam+Delay+Calculation
      The current implementation supports one PST beam.
      The format of the PST Beam Delay Model (json) is same as that for the station beam delay model (json).

      PST Beam Delay Calculation is enabled on the CSPSubarrayLeafNode.
      -A new class "DelayManagerPSTBeam" is added to calculate delays for PST Beam that is specified in the Configure json.
      -A new attribute "delayModelpstbeam1" has been introduced on cspsubarrayleafnodelow to publish delays for PST Beam.
      -The properties PSTDelayModelTimeInAdvance, PSTDelayCadence and PSTDelayValidityPeriod are configurable via the TMC-Low helm chart.

      -Released a new image 0.23.3 from ska-tmc-subarraynode with following change:
      -Added the subscription point in configure json for PST Delay Model.
      Reference documentation : https://developer.skao.int/projects/ska-telmodel/en/latest/schemas/csp/low/configure/ska-low-csp-configure-3.2.html#pst-beams-description-0-2
      MR: https://gitlab.com/ska-telescope/ska-tmc/ska-tmc-subarraynode/-/merge_requests/238
      -The Telescope Model version used is 1.19.3

      -PST Beam Delay Model Generation is verified on ska-tmc-low-integration repository:
      -Utilised the latest tag 0.21.1 of ska-tmc-cspleafnodes and 0.23.3 of ska-tmc-subarraynode to support PST Beam Delay Calculations.

       

      Test Evidence:

      -Added Test Case for XTP-65989 to test the generation of PST Beam Delay Model.
      MR: https://gitlab.com/ska-telescope/ska-tmc/ska-tmc-low-integration/-/merge_requests/56
      Released RC version:  0.20.0-rc from ska-tmc-low-integration repo.

      MR:  https://gitlab.com/ska-telescope/ska-tmc/ska-tmc-cspleafnodes/-/merge_requests/119

      The version 0.20.0-rc has been tested with the following versions of subsystems in ska-tmc-low-integration repository:
      ska-sdp : 0.21.0
      ska-csp-lmc-low : 0.16.2
      ska-low-cbf : 0.9.0  
      ska-low-cbf-proc : 0.13.0
      ska-pst : 0.12.1
      ska-low-mccs : 0.16.2

      Note that a new release of CBF-Low is required, which will subscribe to the PST Beam Delay Model.

      Exclusions:

      Once SKB-329 is fixed for station beam delay model, the same will be applied to the PST beam delay model.
