RandomTransmitter Satellite#

A satellite that transmits random data

Building#

The RandomTransmitter satellite has no additional dependencies. The satellite is not build by default, building can be enabled via:

meson configure build -Dsatellite_random_transmitter=true

Parameter	Type	Description	Default Value
`seed`	Unsigned 8-bit integer	Seed for the random engine	Random
`frame_size`	Unsigned integer	Size of a data frame in bytes	`1024`
`number_of_frames`	Unsigned integer	Number of data frames per data message	`1`

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

Parameter	Type	Description	Default Value
`_bor_timeout`	Unsigned integer	Timeout in seconds to send the BOR message. The satellite will attempt for this interval to send the message and goes into `ERROR` state if it fails to do so. A possible reason for failure is that no receiver satellite connected to this satellite and is receiving data.	10
`_eor_timeout`	Unsigned integer	Timeout in seconds to send the EOR message. The satellite will attempt for this interval to send the message and goes into `ERROR` state if it fails to do so.	10
`_data_timeout`	Unsigned integer	Timeout in seconds to send the data message. The satellite will attempt for this interval to send the message and goes into `ERROR` state if it fails to do so.	10

Parameter	Type	Description	Default Value
`_allow_departure`	Bool	If `true`, regular departures of satellites will not cause an interrupt to SAFE mode	`true`
`_heartbeat_interval`	Unsigned integer	Interval in seconds between heartbeats to be sent to other Constellation components	`10`
