This project contains the design specification for the focal plane electronics for the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS).

Manual

You can read the latest version of the manual here:

https://github.com/TESScience/FPE/raw/master/FPE/Documentation/FPE.pdf

To build the TESS FPE manual, type:

make FPE/Documentation/AE.pdf

or

make manual

Testing

To run the tests (which do sanity checks on the python module) type:

make test

Release

To make a release, first create a git tag conforming to the following convention:

*A.B.C.devD*

Where:

• A is the major revision number
• B is the minor revision number
• C is the review release number
• D is the software release number

Hardware developers can safely ignore D

Releases must conform to the above specification, which is a subset of PEP 440, in order to be accepted by pypi. In the event that a tag does not conform to the above spec, it will not be possible to create a software release on pypi.
