Config Tool Ka Receiver Manager Modifications

Modification Request #4 (C05 2006)

1. Introduction

In order to accommodate the Zpectrometer, eight switches were added to the manager:

diff1_bypassHybrid, sum1_bypassHybrid, diff1_toZpectrometer, sum1_toZpectrometer, diff2_bypassHybrid, sum2_bypassHybrid, diff2_toZpectrometer, sum2_toZpectrometer

This MR specifies the modifications and additions to the config tool to support proper Ka manager configurations with all backends except for the Zpectrometer. The Zpectrometer configurations will be specified in a separate MR.

2. Background

See KaManagerModifications for background material on this MR.

3. Requirements

Manager:

The new KA Recevier Manager switches named: diff1_bypassHybrid, sum1_bypassHybrid, diff1_toZpectrometer, sum1_toZpectrometer, diff2_bypassHybrid, sum2_bypassHybrid, diff2_toZpectrometer, sum2_toZpectrometer, will be set to "swOff" for all Ka configurations currently supported by the config tool.
Remove support for the direct connections from the KA receiver to the DCR. Before the CCB was installed on the GBT, this mode was used to test the KA receiver direct connections. It will no longer be used and will be removed from the config tool.
- Remove the cable connections from the unit test cabling file for the KA_DCR direct connections.
- Remove all unit tests supporting this configuration.
As part of this MR, the KA-CCB configuration will be modified to set the following parameters:

Manager	Parameter	Value
LO1	autoSetLOPowerLevel	0
LO1	loPowerLevel	-110
LO1	testTonePowerLevel	-110
LO1	S4	4
LO1	S8	4
LO1	S12	1

4. Design

Add a Rcvr_Ka class that inherits from Receiver.py
Modify KA_CCB class so that it inherits from Rcvr_Ka instead of Receiver.py
Add the new receiver parameter setups to Rcvr_Kaass and call the Receiver Base class init to configure the common receiver parameters
Add the new parameter setup to the KA_CCB class
Add the Rcvr_Ka object creation to the ReceiverFactory method.

5. Deployment Checklist

6. Test Plan

6.1 Internal Testing

Test 1:

Using Cleo Device Explorer, set the Rcvr26_40 receiver manager parameters named: diff1_bypassHybrid, sum1_bypassHybrid, diff1_toZpectrometer, sum1_toZpectrometer, diff2_bypassHybrid, sum2_bypassHybrid, diff2_toZpectrometer, sum2_toZpectrometer to "swOn".
Run the following configuration in /users/mmello/Rcvr26_40_configTests.py.
Verify the parameters set to "swOn" in the previous step are now set to "swOff".

Test 2:

Using Cleo Device Explorer, set the Rcvr26_40 receiver manager parameters named: diff1_bypassHybrid, sum1_bypassHybrid, diff1_toZpectrometer, sum1_toZpectrometer, diff2_bypassHybrid, sum2_bypassHybrid, diff2_toZpectrometer, sum2_toZpectrometer to "swOn".
Run the following configuration in /users/mmello/Rcvr26_40_DCRconfigTests.py.
Verify the parameters set to "swOn" in the previous step are now set to "swOff".

Test 3:

NOTE: This test can only be run if the CCB is installed on the GBT or Simulator (whichever is being used for testing).

Using Cleo Device Explorer, set the Rcvr26_40 receiver manager parameters named: diff1_bypassHybrid, sum1_bypassHybrid, diff1_toZpectrometer, sum1_toZpectrometer, diff2_bypassHybrid, sum2_bypassHybrid, diff2_toZpectrometer, sum2_toZpectrometer to "swOn".
Run the following configuration in /users/mmello/Rcvr26_40_CCBconfigTests.py.
Verify the parameters set to "swOn" in the previous step are now set to "swOff".

6.2 Sponsor Testing

Run the following configuration in /users/mmello/Rcvr26_40_configTests.py.
Verify the parameters set to "swOn" in the previous step are now set to "swOff".

Test 2:

Using Cleo Device Explorer, set the Rcvr26_40 receiver manager parameters named: diff1_bypassHybrid, sum1_bypassHybrid, diff1_toZpectrometer, sum1_toZpectrometer, diff2_bypassHybrid, sum2_bypassHybrid, diff2_toZpectrometer, sum2_toZpectrometer to "swOn".
Run the following configuration in /users/mmello/Rcvr26_40_DCRconfigTests.py.
Verify the parameters set to "swOn" in the previous step are now set to "swOff".

Test 3:

NOTE: This test can only be run if the CCB is installed on the GBT or Simulator (whichever is being used for testing).

Using Cleo Device Explorer, set the Rcvr26_40 receiver manager parameters named: diff1_bypassHybrid, sum1_bypassHybrid, diff1_toZpectrometer, sum1_toZpectrometer, diff2_bypassHybrid, sum2_bypassHybrid, diff2_toZpectrometer, sum2_toZpectrometer to "swOn".
Run the following configuration in /users/mmello/Rcvr26_40_CCBconfigTests.py.
Verify the parameters set to "swOn" in the previous step are now set to "swOff".

Test 4:

Run the following configuration in /users/mmello/Rcvr26_40_DCR_KAconfigTests.py.
Verify that the configuration fails because DCR_KA is no longer a supported backend mode.
