MOBPL02 | TANGO Kernel Development Status | 27 |
|
||
Funding: On behalf of the TANGO Controls Collaboration The TANGO Controls Framework continues to improve. This paper will describe how TANGO kernel development has evolved since the last ICALEPCS conference. TANGO kernel projects source code repositories have been transferred from subversion on Sourceforge.net to git on GitHub.com. Continuous integration with Travis CI and the GitHub pull request mechanism should foster external contributions. Thanks to the TANGO collaboration contract, parts of the kernel development and documentation have been sub-contracted to companies specialized in TANGO. The involvement of the TANGO community helped to define the roadmap which will be presented in this paper and also led to the introduction of Long Term Support versions. The paper will present how the kernel is evolving to support pluggable protocols - the main new feature of the next major version of TANGO. |

TUPHA194 | LIMA: Library for IMage Acquisition a Worldwide Project for 2D Detector Control | 886 |
|
||
The LIMA project started in 2009. The goal was to provide a software library for the unified control of 2D detectors. LIMA is a collaborative project involving synchrotrons, research facilities and industrial companies. LIMA supports most detectors used for X-ray detection or other scientific applications. Live display is supported via a video interface and most of the native video camera image formats are supported. LIMA provides a plug-in architecture for on-line processing which allows image pre-treatment before saving e.g. noise reduction algorithm or automatic X-ray beam attenuation during continuous scans. The library supports many file format including EDF, CBF, FITS, HDF5 and TIFF. To cope with increasing detector acquisition speed, the latest LIMA release includes multi-threaded, parallelized image saving with data compression (gzip or lz4). For even higher throughput a new design, based on a distributed multi-computer architecture, of the LIMA framework is envisaged. The paper will describe the LIMA roadmap for the coming years. | ||

THCPL05 | TANGO Heads for Industry | 1195 |
|
||
The TANGO Controls Framework* continues to mature and be adopted by new sites and applications. This paper will describe how TANGO has moved closer to industry with the creation of startups and addressing industrial use cases. It will describe what progress has been made since the last ICALEPCS in 2015 to ensure the sustainability of TANGO for scientific and industrial users. It will present TANGO web based technologies and the deployment of TANGO in the cloud. Furthermore it will describe how the community has re-organised itself to fund and improve code sharing, documentation, code quality assurance and maintenance.

THPHA085 | SKA Synchronization and Timing Local Monitor Control - Project Status | 1582 |
|
||
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project aims to build a large radio telescope consisting of multiple dishes and dipoles, in South Africa (SKA1-Mid) and Australia (SKA1-Low) respectively. The Synchronization and Timing (SAT) system of SKA provides frequency and clock signals from a central clock ensemble to all elements of the radio telescope, critical to the functionality of SKA acting as a unified large telescope using interferometry. The local monitor and control system for SAT (SAT. LMC) will monitor and control the working of the SAT system consisting of the timescale generation system, the frequency distribution system and the timing distribution system. SAT. LMC will also enable Telescope Manager (TM) to perform any SAT maintenance and operations. As part of Critical Design Review, SAT. LMC is getting close to submitting its final architecture and design. This paper discusses the architecture, technology, and the outcomes of prototyping activities. | ||
