SKA-PST

This project implements the Pulsar Timing Signal Processor (PST) of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA). It provides the umbrella helm chart that integrates the CORE components of PST (SMRB, RECV, DSP, STAT, and SEND) with the Local Monitoring and Control (LMC) component. It also implements a number of system integration tests and provides documentation for integrating and using PST.

Current Capability

The current release of PST (ska-pst 0.5.3) implements the following features:

• Data Acquisition – capable of capturing the tied-array voltages from the correlator beam former (CBF)

• Voltage Recorder – capable of recording the tied-array voltages from the CBF

• Xray/Jira integration – features expressed using Gherkin are automatically tested and results are reported in Jira
