abstract = {Diamond Light Source is a publicly funded 3rd generation national synchrotron which will soon operate 39 state-of-the-art instruments covering a wide range of physical and life science applications. Realization of such instruments poses many challenges from initial scientific concept, to final user experience. To get best efficiency, Diamond operates a modular approach for engineering and software systems support, usually with custom hardware or software component coming together on the final instrument in-situ. To facilitate cross-group collaboration, prototyping, integrated development and testing of the full instrument including scientific case before the final implementation, an optical prototyping setup has been developed which has an identical backend to real beamline instruments. We present detail of the software and hardware components of this environment and how these have been used to develop functionality for the new operational instruments. We present several high impact examples of such integrated prototyping development including the instrumentation for DIAD (integrated Dual Imaging And Diffraction) and the J08 beamline for: soft X-ray ptychography end-station.},
