e2c-client 0.1.11

ALMA Ethernet-To-CAN socket server Python client package for LRU monitoring and control.

e2c-client

ALMA Ethernet-To-CAN socket server Python client package for LRU monitoring and control.

The e2c-client package provides an application and libraries for CAN-based monitoring and control of hardware devices through the Ethernet-To-CAN module.
See ALMA-70.35.10.14-00.00.00.00-A-ICD for the ICD between Computing/E2C Socket Server Protocol and ALMA operations.

Installation

pip install e2c-client

If installed for user only in an APEx virtual environment, it may be necessary to unset the user PYTHONPATH environment variable for the current session:

unset PYTHONPATH

Installation for development

git clone ssh://[e-mail]:7999/eng/e2c-client.git
cd e2c-client
make venv
source venv/bin/activate

Request AMBSI temperature monitor point of DV10 LORR (raw data)

$ e2c-client monitor request --host dv10-e2c --channel 0 --node 0x22 --rca 0x30003
Error: 0
Data: 
0x55, 0x0, 0x8, 0x10

Request AMBSI temperature of DV10 LORR (utility function)

$ e2c-client monitor temperature --host dv10-e2c --channel 0 --node 0x22 
Temperature: 42.1875 [C]

Set BB attenuators on IFP0 of DA63 to A:12 dB, B:12.5 dB, C:9 dB, D:8.5 dB

$ e2c-client control request --host da63-e2c --channel 0 --node 0x29 --rca 0x0181 --data "0x60 0x64 0x48 0x44"

TODO

Feel free to contribute on the following pending tasks:

• Improve error handling
• Add ICD errors number-to-description mapping for increased user understading on failures.
• Add real testing pytest template files.
• Code additional utility functions for critical recovery tasks like cryostat temperature and pressure monitoring, power supply status, etc.
