# GRIFO_M_PBIT - Simulation Mode
## Quick Start
### Run Test with Hardware (Production Mode)
```bash
cd __OLD\__TEST_GENOVA\GrifoAutomaticTestEnv\TestEnvironment\scripts
python GRIFO_M_PBIT.py
```
### Run Test without Hardware (Simulation Mode)
```bash
cd __OLD\__TEST_GENOVA\GrifoAutomaticTestEnv\TestEnvironment\scripts
python GRIFO_M_PBIT.py --simulate
```
---
## What's New
**Simulation mode** - Run tests without hardware
**Zero production code changes** - All changes are opt-in
**Serial statistics** integrated in final report
**Complete documentation** of test environment
---
## Simulation Mode Features
### What Gets Mocked
- **1553 Bus Interface** - Simulates message reception (B6, B8, B9)
- **Serial Terminal** - Simulates %%E, %%F, RECYCLE messages
- **Power Control** - Logs power state changes (no actual hardware control)
### Simulation Configuration
Edit `GRIFO_M_PBIT_mock.py` to customize:
```python
# BIT completion timing
PBIT_TIME_MIN = 15.0
PBIT_TIME_MAX = 25.0
# Test scenario
SIMULATION_SCENARIO = 'normal' # Options: 'normal', 'pedestal_fail', 'random_failures'
# Serial message generation
SIMULATE_SERIAL_ERRORS = True # Generate %%E messages
SIMULATE_SERIAL_FATAL = False # Generate %%F messages
SIMULATE_RECYCLE_EVENTS = True # Generate RECYCLE at power-on
```
### Available Scenarios
1. **`normal`** - All tests pass (only known failures like pedestal)
2. **`pedestal_fail`** - Pedestal unit failure (expected HW limitation)
3. **`random_failures`** - Random B6 failures to test B8 drill-down
---
## Report Enhancements
### Serial Statistics Now Included
The final statistics report now shows:
**Per-Run Table:**
```
Run | Status | PBIT | B6 Status | B8 Checked | Serial (E/F/R) | B8 Fail | Result
1 | PASS | 18.2s| 12/0/1 | 0 | 1/0/1 | - | ✓ PASS
2 | PASS | 19.5s| 12/0/1 | 0 | 2/0/1 | - | ✓ PASS
```
Legend: E=Errors (%%E), F=Fatal (%%F), R=Recycles
**Aggregate Statistics:**
- Total serial messages received
- Total %%E errors
- Total %%F fatal messages
- Total system recycles detected
**Dedicated Recycle Analysis (Section 5.1):**
- Expected vs unexpected recycles
- Per-run recycle events with timestamps
- Warning if unexpected resets detected

## Testing the Simulation
### First Test Run
```bash
python GRIFO_M_PBIT.py --simulate
```
**Expected Output:**
```
================================================================================
SIMULATION MODE ACTIVATED
================================================================================
Scenario: normal
BIT Time Range: 15.0-25.0s
Serial Errors: True
Serial Fatal: False
Recycle Events: True
================================================================================
[MOCK] Replaced leo_grifo_1553.theGrifo1553 with mock
[MOCK] Replaced leo_grifo_io_box.theBrainBox with mock
[MOCK] Simulation setup complete - test can now run without hardware
...
```
### Verify Results
1. Check log file: `__OLD/__TEST_GENOVA/GrifoAutomaticTestEnv/TestEnvironment/LOG/GRIFO_M_PBIT.log`
2. Check PDF report: `__OLD/__TEST_GENOVA/GrifoAutomaticTestEnv/TestEnvironment/pdf_reports/GRIFO_M_PBIT_*.pdf`
3. Look for simulation markers: `[MOCK]` prefix in logs
---
## Customizing Test Scenarios
### Example: Test B8 Drill-Down Logic
1. Edit `GRIFO_M_PBIT_mock.py`:
```python
SIMULATION_SCENARIO = 'random_failures'
```
2. Run test:
```bash
python GRIFO_M_PBIT.py --simulate
```
3. Report will show:
- Some runs with B6 failures
- B8 diagnostic drill-down performed
- Detailed failure analysis in final report
### Example: Test Recycle Detection
1. Edit `GRIFO_M_PBIT_mock.py`:
```python
SIMULATE_RECYCLE_EVENTS = True
SIMULATE_SERIAL_FATAL = True # Add extra recycle mid-run
```
2. Check Section 5.1 in final report for recycle analysis

## Troubleshooting
### Issue: Import Error for GRIFO_M_PBIT_mock
**Cause:** Mock module not in Python path
**Solution:** Ensure you run from `scripts/` directory
### Issue: Simulation Takes Too Long
**Cause:** BIT timing too high
**Solution:** Edit `GRIFO_M_PBIT_mock.py`:
```python
PBIT_TIME_MIN = 5.0 # Faster simulation
PBIT_TIME_MAX = 10.0
```
### Issue: Want to Test Specific Failures
**Solution:** Edit `_initialize_field_values()` in `MockGrifo1553Interface`:
```python
# Force specific failure
self._field_values["..._processor_status"] = "true" # Fail
```

## Performance
### Simulation Mode Timing
| Test Component | Real Hardware | Simulation |
|----------------|---------------|------------|
| BIT Completion | 15-30s | 15-25s (configurable) |
| Power Cycle | 5-10s | 0.1s |
| Per Run | 30-40s | 20-30s |
| **10 Runs Total** | **5-7 minutes** | **3-5 minutes** |
### Report Generation
Same speed for both modes:
- PDF generation: ~5-10s
- Statistics calculation: <1s
---
## Next Steps
### Recommended Actions
1. **Test simulation mode** with current configuration
2. **Review generated PDF report** to verify all sections present
3. **Experiment with scenarios** to understand test logic
4. **Test with real hardware** when available to verify compatibility
5. **Customize mock** for specific test cases as needed
### Future Enhancements
Consider adding:
- JSON configuration file for scenarios
- CSV export of all field values
- Integration with `pybusmonitor1553` as UDP message source
- Recorded message replay capability

## Support
### Questions?
1. Check `GRIFO_Test_Environment_Analysis.md` for detailed documentation
2. Review code comments in `GRIFO_M_PBIT_mock.py`
3. Enable debug logging for troubleshooting:
```python
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)
```
### Reporting Issues
When reporting issues, include:
- Command used to run test
- Contents of log file (first 50 lines)
- Simulation configuration used
- Expected vs actual behavior
