Design Overview

The DSManager design is based on the BaseDevice in ska-tango-base which uses a component manager to monitor and control its component. The DSManager receives its control commands from the DishManager which then issues a mapped command to the component it controls, i.e. DS Simulator. The DS Simulator has an OPCUA interface which the component manager (in DS Manager) maintains a client connection to. All updates from the component are monitored using callbacks and bubbled up to the DishManager to inform the aggregate health/status of the dish.
