# MARTe2 Debug Suite Specifications
## 1. Goal
Implement a "Zero-Code-Change" observability layer for the MARTe2 real-time framework, providing live telemetry, signal forcing, and execution control without modifying existing application source code.
## 2. Requirements
### 2.1 Functional Requirements (FR)
- **FR-01 (Discovery):** Discover the full MARTe2 object hierarchy at runtime.
- **FR-02 (Telemetry):** Stream high-frequency signal data (verified up to 100Hz) to a remote client.
- **FR-03 (Forcing):** Allow manual override of signal values in memory during execution.
- **FR-04 (Logs):** Stream global framework logs to a dedicated terminal via a standalone `TcpLogger` service.
- **FR-05 (Log Filtering):** The client must support filtering logs by type (Debug, Information, Warning, FatalError) and by content using regular expressions.
- **FR-06 (Execution & UI):**
- Provide a native GUI for visualization.
- Support Pause/Resume of real-time execution threads via scheduler injection.
- **FR-07 (Session Management):**
- The top panel must provide a "Disconnect" button to close active network streams.
- Support runtime re-configuration and "Apply & Reconnect" logic.
- **FR-08 (Decoupled Tracing):**
Clicking `trace` activates telemetry; data is buffered and shown as a "Last Value" in the sidebar, but not plotted until manually assigned.
- **FR-08 (Advanced Plotting):**
- Support multiple plot panels with perfectly synchronized time (X) axes.
- Drag-and-drop signals from the traced list into specific plots.
- Automatic distinct color assignment for each signal added to a plot.
- Plot modes: Standard (Time Series) and Logic Analyzer (Stacked rows).
- Signal transformations: Gain, offset, units, and custom labels.
- Visual styling: Deep customization of colors, line styles (Solid, Dashed, etc.), and marker shapes (Circle, Square, etc.).
- **FR-09 (Navigation):**
- Context menus for resetting zoom (X, Y, or both).
- "Fit to View" functionality that automatically scales both axes to encompass all available buffered data points.
- **FR-10 (Scope Mode):**
- High-performance oscilloscope mode with configurable time windows (10ms to 10s).
- Global synchronization of time axes across all plot panels.
- Support for Free-run and Triggered acquisition (Single/Continuous, rising/falling edges).
- **FR-11 (Data Recording):**
- Record any traced signal to disk in Parquet format.
- Native file dialog for destination selection.
- Visual recording indicator in the GUI.
### 2.2 Technical Constraints (TC)
- **TC-01:** No modifications allowed to the MARTe2 core library or component source code.
- **TC-02:** Instrumentation must use Runtime Class Registry Patching.
- **TC-03:** Real-time threads must remain lock-free; use `FastPollingMutexSem` or atomic operations for synchronization.
- **TC-04:** Telemetry must be delivered via UDP to minimize impact on real-time jitter.
## 3. Performance Metrics
- **Latency:** Telemetry dispatch overhead < 5 microseconds per signal.
- **Throughput:** Support for 100Hz+ sampling rates with zero packet loss on local networks.
- **Scalability:** Handle up to 4096 unique signals and 16 simultaneous client connections.
- **Code Quality:** Maintain a minimum of **85% code coverage** across all core service and broker logic.
