§Radar Server
The one binary to rule them all for all things related to Professor John Mower’s radar system.
§Goals:
§When running as a Server:
- Source radar data from the radar hardware in such a way that adding support for new radar systems is easy.
- Source simulated radar data from a random function and / or a sample file.
- Send radar data to clients through a ZMQ Publisher Subscriber connection.
- Listen as a ZMQ router, and adjust radar control commands from authorized clients.
§When running as an Archiver:
- Subscribe to a Server’s published data.
- Archive that data in an HDF5 file.
- Send live data to the appropriate clients as a ZMQ router.
- Listen as a ZMQ router for requests for archived data.
- Respond as a ZMQ router with archived data.
- Listen as a ZMQ router and forward server commands as a dealer.
§Current ToDos
- Improve Archiver Performance, the data is copied a few times and I don’t like that.
- Fix radar control, decide if the client should ever be allowed to connect to the server, or if all communication should pass through the Archiver
- Acquire hardware/hardware simulation
- Source Real Server data. (Blocked by Acquire hardware/hardware simulation)
- Implement Radar Blanking. (Blocked by Acquire hardware/hardware simulation)
- Implement radar control. security.
- Finalize radar control (PBlocked by Implement radar control security)
- Implement true Server mode. (Blocked by Sourcing Real Server Data and Implement radar control)
