Elder Matias on behalf of CLS
Beamline Control and Data Acquisition
Challenges We Face?
• Fiscal Reality (flat-line budgets)• Increasing Number of Beamlines• More sophisticated/demanding beamline• More complex experiments• Obsolescence• Human Factors• Reliability and Availability• Stronger Focus on Scientific Results
(Papers, HQI, benefit to society)
Where we need to go
• More effectively leveraging what we are doing across our beamlines
• Making the facility more accessible across the entire experiment life cycle
• Driving I&C Innovation into the beamlines in a strategic way
• Exploiting emerging technology• Human Factors
Where We Are?
Mixed Environment:• All beamlines are EPICS Based• Most beamlines have QT based (IDA,
IDEV, etc.)• User Centric GUI (Aquaman) • ScienceStudio based Remote Control
Human Factors
• Continue to move from device based to task based GUIs
• Increased layers ofabstraction
• Priority has been tailoring GUI applications to specific beamlines, we now need to look at a common look andfeel across the facility
Scan Lib
• Tradition Architect Insert a Scanning Library Slide here.
ScienceStudio & ANISEDylan Maxwell, Dong Liu, Dioni Medrano and partners
• Developed through in collaboration with partners at CLS, Western, IBM, LNLS, and ALS.
• Uses:– REST & MQ.– HPC– Steams

µTCA
• Conventional technology is VME(320 MB/s) or Compact PCI (528 MB/s)
• Working with InstrumentationTechnology on µTCA (5 GB/s)beamline data acquisition solution
