Running the Emulator

Now we can configure the receive workflow in a number of different environments - we should consider how to deploy the emulator.

The emulator can be ran simply as a standalone application and configured on the command line. This is how the straightforward deployments work. However we have also built a tango device to control the application and it is documented here: CBF-SDP Emulator TANGO Devices

These is a chart included in the tango-device repository https://gitlab.com/ska-telescope/cbf-sdp-emulator-tango-device.git and that is deployed in a similar way to the kubernetes deployment of the receive workflow:

> cd charts
> helm install emulator cbf-sdp-emulator-tango-device  --set proxy.use=true --set proxy.server=delphinus.atnf.csiro.au:8888

Then the device can be configured and controlled via an LMC container as described in CBF-SDP Emulator TANGO Devices.
