Framework Parameters#

This satellite inherits the following framework parameters from its base classes:

Parameters inherited from ReceiverSatellite#

Parameters to control data transmission in the _data section:

Parameter

Type

Description

Default Value

receive_from

List of strings

List of canonical names of transmitter satellites this receiver should connect to and receive data messages from. If empty, this receiver will connect to all transmitters.

[]

eor_timeout

Unsigned integer

Timeout waiting for the reception of the end-of-run message. The receiver satellite will wait this number of seconds for receiving the EOR message from each connected transmitter satellite, and will go into error state if the message has not been received within this period. The timeout will only be started after the pending data messages have been read from the queue.

Parameters inherited from Satellite#

Autonomous Operation#

Parameters to control autonomy in the _autonomy section:

Parameter

Type

Description

Default Value

role

Role name

Role this satellite should take in the Constellation. Accepted values are ESSENTIAL, DYNAMIC, TRANSIENT and NONE.

DYNAMIC

max_heartbeat_interval

Unsigned integer

Maximum interval in seconds between heartbeats to be sent to other Constellation components. The time between heartbeat is adjusted automatically according to the number of nodes in the Constellation but will never exceed this value.
