Yamcs PyMDB¶

Yamcs PyMDB is a Python library for writing the Mission Database (MDB) of a Yamcs deployment. Instead of editing XML by hand or maintaining spreadsheets, you describe parameters, packets, commands, alarms and algorithms as plain Python objects, and PyMDB generates the equivalent XTCE file that Yamcs loads.

This guide introduces the concepts step by step, and doubles as a reference: every feature of the library is covered in one of the chapters, and the appendix lists all public names with a pointer to the chapter that describes them.
