  Users visiting scientific installations aim to collect the best quality data frequently under time pressure. They look for complementary techniques at different sites and when they arrive to one they have limited time to understand the data acquisition architecture. In these conditions, the availability of generic and common interfaces to the experimental channels and measurements improve the user experience regarding the programming and configuration of the experiment. Here we present solutions to the data acquisition challenges provided by the Sardana scientific SCADA suite. In one experimental session the same detector may be employed in different modes e.g., getting the data stream when aligning the sample or the stage, getting a single time/monitor controlled exposure and finally running the measurement process like a step or continuous scan. The complexity of the acquisition setup increases with the number of detectors being simultaneously used and even more depending on the applied synchronization. In this work we present recently enriched Sardana interfaces and optimized processes and conclude with the roadmap of further enhancements.

  This paper will present the state of of kernel developments in the Tango Controls toolkit and community since the previous ICALEPCS 2017. It will describe what changes have been made over the last 2 years to the Long Term Support (LTS) version, how GitHub has been used to provide Continuous Integration (CI) for all platforms, and prepare the latest source code release. It will present how docker containers are supported, how they are being used for CI and for building digital twins. It will describe the outcome of the kernel code camp(s). Finally it will present how Tango is preparing the next version - V10. The paper will explain why new and old installations can continue profiting from Tango Controls or in other words in Tango "the more things change the better the core concepts become".

  BLISS is the new ESRF beamline experiments sequencer. BLISS is a Python library, and a set of tools to empower scientists with the ability to write and to execute complex data acquisition sequences. Complementary with Tango, the ESRF control system, and silx, the ESRF data visualization toolkit, BLISS ensure a smooth user experience from beamline configuration to online visualization. After a 4-year development period, the initial deployment phase is taking place today on half of ESRF beamlines, concomitantly with the ESRF Extremely Brilliant Source upgrade program. This talk will present the BLISS project in large, focusing on feature highlights and technical information as well as more general software development considerations.
