Sardana is a software suite for Supervision, Control and Data Acquisition in scientific installations. It aims to reduce cost and time of design, development and support of the control and data acquisition systems [1]. Sardana, thanks to the Taurus library [2], allows the user to build modern and generic interfaces to the laboratory instruments. It also delivers a flexible python based macro environment, via its MacroServer, which allows custom procedures to be plug in and provides a turnkey set of standard macros e.g. generic scans. Thanks to the Device Pool the heterogeneous hardware could be easily plug in based on common and dynamic interfaces. The Sardana development started at Alba, where it is extensively used to operate all beamlines, the accelerators and auxiliary laboratories. In the meantime, Sardana attracted interest of other laboratories where it is used with success in various configurations. An international community of users and developers [3] was formed and it now maintains the package. Modern data acquisition approaches guides and stimulates current developments in Sardana. This article describes how the Sardana community approaches some of its challenging projects.

PANIC is a suite of python applications focused on visualization, logging and notification of events occurring in ALBA [1] Synchrotron Control System. Build on top of the PyAlarm Tango [2] Device Server it provides an API and a set of graphic tools to visualize the status of the declared alarms, create new alarm processes and enable notification services like SMS, email, data recording, sound or execution of Tango commands. The user interface provides visual debugging of complex alarm behaviors, that can be declared using single-line python expressions. This article describes the architecture of the PANIC suite, the alarm declaration syntax and the integration of alarm widgets in Taurus [3] user interfaces.
