	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.

WEPHA060	Future Acquisition Architecture Investigations at Diamond	1240
	K.A. Ralphs, J.W. Handford DLS, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
	At Diamond we are reviewing the current stack of in-house Software Applications that are used to control our beamline experiments and analyse the data produced by them. We intend to use this process of analysis and investigation to formulate proposals for a revised architecture to address the issues with the existing architecture, making use of the opportunities presented by modern technologies and methods, where appropriate. In doing so we hope to design a more flexible and maintainable system which addresses technical debt and functional limitations that have built up over the lifetime of our current software. This will allow us to go on to implement a powerful acquisition and analysis system to be used with the new facilities of Diamond II.

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.
