LCM sources¶

Instruments generating LCM messages
LCM log files being played (lcm-logplayer)

LWS¶

LCM websocket server that relays LCM messages over websockets

RRWS¶

Rerun websocket server:

Subscribes to a LWS to relay the messages to Rerun Viewer instances

Dial¶

By Dial, we refer to both the UI webapp and its server counterpart.

Connects to a selected LWS with associated channel subscription restricted to the channels specified in the deployment²
Connects to RRWS corresponding to the selected LWS, with received messages displayed in the embedded Rerun Viewer
Has controls to start/stop the RRWS associated with the selected LWS³

Dial can expose the contents of a host directory¹ to the UI so the user can perform a number of actions:

Select deployment for the current session in Dial
Select LCM log files for playback
( ) Select mission script associated with the active deployment
...

MolaRS¶

TODO

In the Dial installation on compaslabdev we use this mechanism to expose the contents of the /compas share. ↩
Except when the "Monitor" view is selected, in which case Dial subscribes to all channels. ↩
There are no authorization checks in place at the moment. ↩
