Bundle the OMG XTCE 1.2 schema so the standard case validates offline with no network request. - Bundle SpaceSystem.xsd; resolve it offline by URL before any download. - Add allowed_schema_hosts / allow_insecure_http / allow_schema_download to validate_xtce and the spp validate CLI, with SPP_ALLOWED_SCHEMA_HOSTS and SPP_ALLOW_INSECURE_HTTP env overrides; export DEFAULT_ALLOWED_SCHEMA_HOSTS. - Block internal/link-local IP-literal hosts (169.254.169.254, 127.0.0.1). - Restore trusted local_xsd: absolute paths work from any cwd again. - Cache only content that validates as XSD; cap download size; 0600 perms. - Use accurate error codes (DISALLOWED_SCHEMA_LOCATION) and surface messages. - Move mock_schema_download fixture to conftest; add security regression tests.

See BinaryContextAlarmType. + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + Describe an alarm when the parameter value's rate-of-change is either too fast or too slow. The change may be with respect to time (the default) or with respect to samples (delta alarms). Use the changeType attribute to select the type: changePerSecond (time) or changePerSample (delta). The change may also be ether relative (as a percentage change) or absolute as set by the changeBasis attribute. (Delta alarms are typically absolute but percentage is conceivable). The alarm also requires the spanOfInterest in both samples and seconds to have passed before it is to trigger. For time based rate of change alarms, the time specified in spanOfInterestInSeconds is used to calculate the change. For sample based rate of change alarms, the change is calculated over the number of samples specified in spanOfInterestInSamples. A typical delta alarm would set: changeType=changePerSample, changeBasis=absoluteChange, spanOfInterestInSamples=1. A typical time based version would set: changeType=changePerSecond, changeBasis=percentageChange, and spaceOfInterestInSeconds=1. To set the ranges use maxInclusive, the following definition applies: | Normal.maxInclusive | <= | Watch.maxInclusive | <= | Warning.maxInclusive | <= | Distress.maxInclusive | <= | Critical.maxInclusive | <= | Severe.maxInclusive |.

It is not necessary to define an alarm for raw/uncalibrated values that do not map to an enumeration.
