Description
Currently MCCS devices cannot reliably monitor and control SPS hardware such as subracks and TPMs. It is essential that MCCS are able to do so on AAVS3. The most effective way to derisk this situation is for MCCS to start routinely deploying and testing against SPS hardware now. The PSI-Low provides a suitable environment for such a derisking activity: a k8s cluster with access to a subrack and two TPMs.
This feature will put in place a manual CI pipeline step that deploys relevant MCCS devices to the k8s cluster in the PSI-Low, then runs a basic signal-chain test: a TPM will be configured to produce raw / channelised / beamformed data (input from a signal generator), and data acquisition (DAQ) will be configured to acquire data and dump it to file. Test results will be uploaded to Jira Xray.
Achieving this feature will require:
- Work on MCCS devices that monitor and control SPS hardware, to add functionality, improve stability, fix bugs and retire technical debt
- improvements to the MCCS deployment setup (i.e. work on helm charts and templates)
- Jira and CI pipeline integration
