Detailed Description

Suite of tests for the GREB controller board.

This program communicates directly with the Jython interpreter to manipulate the board, so it does not need to be loaded into the Jython exectuor.

External dependencies:

astropy
numpy
matplotlib

To run:

Ensure Jython console is running (./JythonConsole or the bootstrapper program)
Ensure rebRun.sh g is running
"python GREBTest.py [options]" Initial crashing yielding a ValueError is likely due to a crRun or JythonConsole crashing or not being loaded.

Tests are structured as classes with four required methods:

init sets initial variables; minimum required variables are self.title and self.status.
runTest is the body of the tests, running the code to execute the tests and storing the results to state variables.
summarize writes summary information to the summary object passed to it; this is used in generating the cover page.
report writes the portion of the pdf report that the test is responsible for. Tests are executed from a list of test objects defined in FunctionalTest().

Function Documentation

def GREBTest.convert	(	value,
		type_
	)

Converts a value to the specified type.

Parameters

value	Value to be converted
type_	Type to convert to.

Returns: Converted value

def GREBTest.exitScript ( )

Reset settings and exit.

Usually catches ^C.

def GREBTest.printv ( string )
