6.1.2.3. Karabo Bridge Recorder

Karabo bridge recorder is a utility to record and replay data sent through the Karabo bridge.

This is for software engineering purposes, to conveniently test code with the exact data format sent by the bridge. We maintain a simulator for the same purpose, but sometimes the data format changes. Making a new recording is much quicker than updating the simulator.

Do not use this to store scientific data for later access! The file format is undocumented, and we will not support such use. EuXFEL has much better ways to store data; ask your contact people if you’re not sure how to record or access data.

Usage:

# Record some data (creates a new folder)
karabo-bridge-record tcp://10.253.0.51/4510

# Play back recorded data
karabo-bridge-replay tcp://0.0.0.0:4545 karabo-bridge-recording-2019-02-19T16.49.25Z/

It is recommended to use this application from pre-installed path on the on- and offline cluster (See EXtra-xwiz)
