Welcome to the KAT Communication Protocol’s documentation!¶
KATCP is a simple ASCII communication protocol layered on top of TCP/IP.
It is developed as a part of the Karoo Array Telescope (KAT) project and used at KAT for the monitoring and control of hardware devices.
The protocol specification NRF-KAT7-6.0-IFCE-002-Rev5-1.pdf
is maintained as an internal memo. The latest version is Rev5.1.
