SKA Telescope Model Client
Library for retrieving SKA Telescope Model information. This enables different SKA sub-systems to agree about shared assumptions like:
the physical location of telescope receptors (i.e. dishes or stations), or
configuration of the correlator and its connections to links, or
internal configuration templates for sub-systems
This sort of information evolves relatively slowly and is in many cases too voluminous to be exchanged between systems in real time. On the other hand, especially for information characterising knowledge about the telescope, we will need to evolve it independently of the software development lifecycle.
For this purpose, this library provides:
Means to access versioned telescope model data
Schemas to check whether telescope model data is valid
Ways for interpret and transform telescope model information
Installation
