Automatic Antenna Mapping to Hardware Resources

One of the most recurrent and time-consuming tasks for problems involving the analog and digital domain investigations is the proper location of a set of hardware resources that process data coming from a specific antenna, these tasks involve the collection and analysis of connectivity points and how boards are distributed in each quadrant of the Baseline Correlator. The implementation organizes and presents this information, assisting the engineer to recognize the specific electronic devices that are in charge of processing the data of interest. In addition to that, an inverse operation was made to map neighbor hardware resources to a set of antennas that share common resources, as in several studies we realized problems affected a group of antennas that were processed by devices in common.
