Design review R4: commissioning plan

caseyjlaw opened this issue · comments

R4: Develop a commissioning plan and explicitly identify the tests which will mitigate the risks identified.

There are several areas of risk to the operations of VLA:

  • Averaging in the CBE rather than Baseline cards
  • Data rates through Correlator to CBE switch.
  • Data rates through Infiniband switches

Many limits will be empirically determined, so a robust process to identify, monitor, and organize results must be defined.
