Documentation for the SKA Signal Metrics Data API and Helm Chart

The Signal Display’s purpose is to concisely present signal metrics received from the telescope.

The Signal Display is composed of: the generator, the API and the display.

  1. The generator receives 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 generator is built as part of the Realtime receive processors

  2. The API acts as a middleware. It receives data from the generator and sends it to the display.

  3. The display visualises the data in different sections, including multiple graphs and general statistics.

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.
