  Scientific facilities need to visualize a large amount of data through several dedicated applications. They can monitor variables from a PLC, visualize data acquisition or browse them offline. Thus, an intuitive GUI is necessary to handle multiple data sources. In 2012, SOLEIL** computing team started the Data browser development. It uses modular and extendable frameworks on which several institutes collaborated: - CDMA (Common Data Model Access) initiated by ANSTO**** and maintained by SOLEIL developers, unifies the access to data regardless of its physical container (files, databases) or its logical organization. - COMETE (COMmunity of Extendable Toolkit for Experiment) framework, initiated by SOLEIL, provides data visualization widgets and unifies the way there are connected to the data regardless of its source. Since then, SOLEIL developed several plugins for Data browser: HDF/Nexus, Tango*****. Recently, IRFU* control software team decided to use this software for EPICS*** data and to collaborate with SOLEIL. Data browser integrates new EPICS plugins: Channel Access, Archiver Appliance.

  IRFU* software control team is involved from feasibility studies to equipment deployment into many different experiments by their size and running time. For many years, IRFU is using PLC solution for controlling part of the experiment, and two different SCADA: - MUSCADE, in-house SCADA dedicated to small experiments. - EPICS** for big facilities. With MUSCADE, IRFU has developed a set of tools that gives an easy and a fast way for PLC developers to configure the SCADA. As EPICS projects are growing in our department, we are working now on adapting those tools to EPICS: - PLCParser, which generates an EPICS database for PLC communication (S7PLC, Modbus). - CAFEJava (Channel Access For EPICS Java) API, which runs a simulated EPICS IOC to test EPICS synoptic, and provides EPICS process variables access for any Java application. - Dxf2Opi, which converts Autocad DXF files into OPI files for CSS*** software. - MOONARCH (Memory Optimizer ON ARCHiver Appliance), which reduces EPICS Archiver Appliance**** data files storage.
