Parameter Recorder

Records parameters. This service stores the data coming from one or more streams into a table pp. The term pp stands for processed parameter. These are parameters that typically are processed by an external system before being recorded in Yamcs. It is also used to store system parameters that are generated by Yamcs itself.

Note

Parameters extracted from packets are usually not stored in pp. Instead Yamcs provides a different service called the Parameter Archive which is specially optimized for data retrieval.
