OB-CAS Device Manager UI

Functional Description

The Device Manager UI app is built using the streamlit framework based on python, and simply shows which devices are under control of the OB-BAA platform and which status these have, as well as the adapters being supported by the OB-BAA.

Its internal operation is straightforward. The OB-BAA device manager UI app

• invokes the obcas sdk code(send_nc_request()) to connect to the OB-BAA NC server.
• gets the response from OB-BAA server via the nc_client response.
• parses the response and populate the information in UI representation (streamlit).

Shown below are some screenshot from the UI environment:
