The create RDS Test

Test objectives

Exercise createRDS command to generate Level 0, Level 1, Level 2 and Merged frames

APIs affected by this test

managerAPI:
- directs processing of the user commands to other APIs and returns the user command status to the user.
diskcacheAPI:
- Retrieves the frame file names required by the frame query in ldas command.
frameAPI:
- Reads complex data from ADC data of channels

Setup

ligotools package is required for running this test. Check that it is mounted

Install the following tests script in a directory on your local machine or the ldas system
- dords.s3 - driver script



Test Execution
        The subdirectory on dev containing the S3_RDS frames, /ldas_outgoing/frames/S3_RDS/*,
        

            /ldas_outgoing/frames/S3_RDS/LH2
            /ldas_outgoing/frames/S3_RDS/LHO
            /ldas_outgoing/frames/S3_RDS/LL2
            /ldas_outgoing/frames/S3_RDS/LLO
            /ldas_outgoing/frames/S3_RDS/MERGED
            
        
        needs to be cleared out of
        frame files or the job submitted will result in error from detecting an existing file. 
        You can run the script rdsclean.tcl with delete as argument to remove all the files
        from the above directories before starting the test.  
        
		
cd <your scripts directory>

		
        Usage: dords.s3 dev 
        invokes 5 rdsloop.tcl, each to create RDS frames written into one of the frame directories above.
		
To monitor the progress, you can run the script verifycreaterds.tcl
        on the ldas gateway to display the number of output frames in each directory:
        

        e.g.  verifycreaterds.tcl
        /ldas_outgoing/frames/S3_RDS/LH2: 60 files
        /ldas_outgoing/frames/S3_RDS/LHO: 123 files
        /ldas_outgoing/frames/S3_RDS/LL2: 66 files
        /ldas_outgoing/frames/S3_RDS/LLO: 160 files
        /ldas_outgoing/frames/S3_RDS/MERGED: 80 files
        

Test Validation:
        When the test has finished running, verify that the following number of frame files in the 
        5 directories: 
        
        /ldas_outgoing/frames/S3_RDS/LH2: 223 files
        /ldas_outgoing/frames/S3_RDS/LHO: 223 files
        /ldas_outgoing/frames/S3_RDS/LL2: 223 files
        /ldas_outgoing/frames/S3_RDS/LLO: 223 files
        /ldas_outgoing/frames/S3_RDS/MERGED: 223 files
