Documentation for the SKA Signal Metrics Data API and Helm Chart
The purpose of the Signal Display is to display any signal metrics received from telescope and display them in a concise manner.
The Signal Display comes in three parts: the display, the API and the generator.
The generator receives the data in the form of XArray Datasets, processors the Visibility data into the metrics (using multi threads) and sends them via Kafka to the API.
The API acts as a middleware. It receives the data from the generator and sends the data on to the display. For some of the data the API renders the images for the display.
The display then displays the data in different sections. Namely, Statistics, Spectrum and Spectrogram’s.
The ska-sdp-qa-data-api repository contains the code for the main API image, and also contains the Helm chart for this system.
The ska-sdp-qa-display repository contains the code for the main Signal Display image.
The ska-sdp-qa-metric-generator repository contains the code for main Signal Metric Generator image.
