ska3-matlab 2025.2
This PR includes:
get_last_backorbit_date
function to return the last available backorbit (SSR-dump) data for a list of MSIDs. This is useful to avoid accidentally getting realtime data that may have gaps or corruptions.**pytables version increases in this PR. Issue #1295 confirmed OK by @jskrist **
Notes
On windows, most scripts as installed by conda-build will call python at the wrong location. This should not be an issue for matlab users, because matlab users do not use any of our executable scripts. Anyway, we changed our build to fix some scripts that might be used by some users, and if this becomes an issue there is always a workaround.
The BLAS implementation used on Windows is changing from OpenBLAS to Intel's MKL in this release. This was motivated by some memory issues found during FOT testing. One specific issue was that just importing numpy was increasing pageable memory usage (from ~40MB to more than 1GB).
Interface Impacts:

The latest release candidates will be installed in
/proj/sot/ska3/matlab/test
on GRETA,and all release candidates will be available for testing from the usual channels:
Testing Notes
cxotime
test appears to fail on Windows, but this is just a poor test that happens to fail in the VM when run as part of the suite. When run on its own, it passes. The reason is that the test sleeps for half a second and checks that difference. In the test VM, under some circumstances, that time difference is 0.07 seconds larger. We will change this test in a future release.Review
All operations critical or impacting PR's are independently and carefully reviewed. For other PR's the level of detail for review is calibrated to operations criticality. Some PR's that are confined to aspect-team-specific processing may have little to no independent review.
Deployment
ska3-matlab 2025.2 will be promoted to flight conda channel and installed on GRETA Linux after approval from FOT team.
