## Usage Examples
|
|
|
|
### Basic Simulation
|
|
```bash
|
|
cd __OLD\__TEST_GENOVA\GrifoAutomaticTestEnv\TestEnvironment\scripts
|
|
python GRIFO_M_PBIT.py --simulate
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Customize Scenario
|
|
Edit `GRIFO_M_PBIT_mock.py`:
|
|
```python
|
|
SIMULATION_SCENARIO = 'random_failures' # Test drill-down logic
|
|
PBIT_TIME_MIN = 5.0 # Faster completion
|
|
PBIT_TIME_MAX = 10.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Production Run (Unchanged)
|
|
```bash
|
|
python GRIFO_M_PBIT.py # No --simulate flag
|
|
```
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Report Enhancements

|
|
|

|
|
```
|
|
Serial (E/F/R)
|
|
1/0/1 # 1 error, 0 fatal, 1 recycle
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### New Report Section 5.1
|
|
**System Recycle Analysis:**

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Configuration Options
|
|
|
|
### In GRIFO_M_PBIT_mock.py
|
|
|
|
**BIT Timing:**
|
|
```python
|
|
PBIT_TIME_MIN = 15.0 # Minimum BIT completion time
|
|
PBIT_TIME_MAX = 25.0 # Maximum BIT completion time
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Test Scenarios:**
|
|
```python
|
|
SIMULATION_SCENARIO = 'normal' # All pass (except known failures)
|
|
SIMULATION_SCENARIO = 'pedestal_fail' # Pedestal unit failure
|
|
SIMULATION_SCENARIO = 'random_failures' # Random failures for testing
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Serial Messages:**
|
|
```python
|
|
SIMULATE_SERIAL_ERRORS = True # Generate %%E messages
|
|
SIMULATE_SERIAL_FATAL = False # Generate %%F messages
|
|
SIMULATE_RECYCLE_EVENTS = True # Generate RECYCLE at power-on
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Architecture Highlights
|
|
|
|
### Dependency Injection Pattern
|
|
```python
|
|
if '--simulate' in sys.argv:
|
|
from GRIFO_M_PBIT_mock import setup_simulation, create_mock_terminal
|
|
setup_simulation() # Replace singletons
|
|
terminal = create_mock_terminal()
|
|
else:
|
|
terminal = leo_grifo_terminal.GrifoSerialTerminal()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Monkey Patching (Transparent)
|
|
```python
|
|
import leo_grifo_1553
|
|
leo_grifo_1553.theGrifo1553 = MockGrifoInstrumentInterface()
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
No changes to calling code required!

## Design Principles
|
|
|
|
1. **Non-invasive** - Zero changes to production environment
|
|
2. **Opt-in** - Only active when explicitly requested
|
|
3. **Compatible** - Same API as real interfaces
|
|
4. **Configurable** - Easy to customize scenarios
|
|
5. **Documented** - Comprehensive technical analysis
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Testing Recommendations
|
|
|
|
### Phase 1: Simulation Testing
|
|
1. Run with `--simulate` flag
|
|
2. Verify all scenarios (normal, pedestal_fail, random_failures)
|
|
3. Check generated PDF reports
|
|
4. Review log files for [MOCK] markers
|
|
|
|
### Phase 2: Production Testing
|
|
1. Run without `--simulate` flag (when hardware available)
|
|
2. Verify behavior unchanged from original
|
|
3. Compare reports between simulation and real runs
|
|
4. Validate serial statistics accuracy
|
|
|
|
### Phase 3: Customization
|
|
1. Experiment with timing configurations
|
|
2. Test specific failure scenarios
|
|
3. Adjust serial message generation
|
|
4. Document any custom scenarios
|
|

|
## Known Limitations
|
|
|
|
### Simulation Mode
|
|
- ⚠️ Does not test actual hardware communication
|
|
- ⚠️ Timing is approximate (not cycle-accurate)
|
|
- ⚠️ Serial messages are synthetic patterns
|
|
|
|
### Solutions
|
|
- Use for logic testing and development
|
|
- Always validate with real hardware before deployment
|
|
- Consider recording real sessions for replay
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Future Enhancement Ideas
|
|
|
|
### Potential Additions
|
|
1. **JSON Configuration** - External scenario files
|
|
2. **Message Recording** - Capture real sessions
|
|
3. **Replay Mode** - Use recorded data
|
|
4. **Integration with pybusmonitor1553** - UDP message source
|
|
5. **Failure Injection** - Specific field corruption
|
|
6. **Timing Profiles** - Load different timing scenarios
|
|
|
|
### Implementation Priority
|
|
- 🟢 High: JSON configuration
|
|
- 🟡 Medium: Message recording/replay
|
|
- 🔵 Low: Advanced failure injection
|

## Maintenance Notes
|
|
|
|
### When Adding New Messages
|
|
1. Add field values to `_initialize_field_values()` in mock
|
|
2. Update scenarios if needed
|
|
3. Test both simulation and production modes
|
|
|
|
### When Modifying Test Logic
|
|
1. Ensure mock API stays compatible
|
|
2. Update documentation if interfaces change
|
|
3. Test with `--simulate` flag
|
|
|
|
### When Updating Documentation
|
|
1. Technical details → `GRIFO_Test_Environment_Analysis.md`
|
|
2. User instructions → `README_SIMULATION.md`
|
|
3. Code comments → In-line documentation
