Tango device wrapper

A Tango device wrapping the emulator sender is available under CBF-SDP Emulator TANGO Devices. The purpose of this Tango device is to be used as a simulation of the real CBF, making it possible to run a full end-to-end SKA system that exercises the visibility data flow.

In SDP

In the context of the SDP Integration the emulator is deployed as a Helm chart to exercise the visibility receive workflow.
