KFPA M&C Software Integration

Path to a Common User Backend

KFPA M&C Manager

The creation of a Manager and microcontroller firmware is the first step and handles the hardware M&C functionality

GBT System Integration

Introduction of the KFPA Manager into the M&C system is trivially accomplished via configuration files. Additional work is required for full integration as a common user instrument

Changes to the Measurements Manager

Possible changes to the Measurements Manager and receiver calibration database schema

Changes to the IF Manager

Modification of the IF Manager to properly simulate the IF path between receiver and backend

Changes to CLEO

Integration into the Engineers & Operator’s GUI (CLEO)
