| S01SRA01 | A Users View of the SPS and LEP Control Systems | controls, software, operation, network | 1 |
|
|||
| Every accelerator has a control system; at present the SPS has two, both of which are needed to run the machine. Consequently a user of the SPS I LEP complex has to be concurrently familiar with three control systems. While this situation brings problems it allows, even forces, comparison between the different systems, which in tum enriches the user viewpoint. This paper assesses the SPS and LEP control systems from the point of view of the user, who may be an equipment specialist, operator, accelerator physicist or combinations thereof. | |||

| S08NC09 | A Program Development Tool for KEK VME-MAP Control System | controls, network, interface, synchrotron | 322 |
|
|||
| The control system for KEK 12 GeV Proton Synchrotron has been replaced with a distributed VME-bus based microcomputer system and a MAP local area network. In order to simplify programming for network application tasks, a set of a preprocessor for a PASCAL compiler and a network communication server has been developed. Application programs for accelerator control system have blocks with similar codes; sending, waiting for, receiving, analyzing messages, etc. The preprocessor called "OBJP" incorporates such common codes into the source code written by an application programmer. In case of a simple program, the size of the source code is reduced by one tenth of a full coding. | |||

| S13MMI01 | Workstations as Consoles for the CERN-PS Complex, Setting-Up the Environment | controls, interface, software, hardware | 446 |
|
|||
| Within the framework of the rejuvenation project of the CERN control systems, commercial workstations have to replace existing home-designed operator consoles. RISC-based workstations with UNIX®, X-window¿ and OSF/Motif¿ have been introduced for the control of the PS complex. The first versions of general functionalities like synoptic display, program selection and control panels have been implemented and the first large scale application has been realized. This paper describes the different components of the workstation environment for the implementation of the applications. The focus is on the set of tools which have been used, developed or integrated, and on how we plan to make them evolve. | |||

| S13MMI12 | Human-Machine Interface Software Package | controls, software, operation, linac | 490 |
|
|||
| The Man-Machine Interface software Package (MMISP) is designed to configure the console software of PLS 60 Mev LINAC control system. The control system of PLS 60 Mev LINAC ia a distributed control system which includes the main computer (Intel 310) four local station, and two sets of industrial level console computer. The MMISP provides the operator with the display page editor, various I/0 configuration such as digital signals In/Out, analog signal In/Out, waveform TV graphic display, and interactive with operator through graphic picture display, voice explanation, and touch panel. This paper describes its function and application. | |||

| S14OOP01 | Object-Oriented Programming Techniques for the AGS Booster | controls, booster, interface, software | 500 |
|
|||
|
Funding: Work performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy. The applications software developed for the control system of the AGS Booster Project was written in the object-oriented language, C++. At the start of the Booster Project, the programming staff of the AGS Controls Section comprised some dozen programmer/analysts, all highly fluent in C but novices in C++. During the course of this project, nearly the entire staff converted to using C++ for a large fraction of their assignments. Over 100 C++ software modules are now available both for Booster and general AGS use, of which a large fraction are broadly applicable tools. The transition from C to C++ from a managerial perspective is discussed and an overview is provided of the ways in which object classes have been applied in Booster software development. |

| S14OOP03 | The Direct Manipulation Shell: Creating Extensible Display Page Editors | interface, software, software-component, controls | 511 |
|
|||
|
Accelerator controls systems provide parameter display pages which allow the operator to monitor and manipulate selected control points in the system. Display pages are generally implemented as either hand-crafted, purpose-built programs; or by using a specialized display page layout tool. These two methods of display page development exhibit the classic trade-off between functionality vs. ease of implementation. In the Direct Manipulation Shell we approach the process of developing a display page in a manifestly object-oriented manner. This is done by providing a general framework for interactively instantiating and manipulating display objects.

| S14OOP06 | The State Manager: A Tool to Control Large Data-Acquisition Systems | controls, data-acquisition, interface, distributed | 524 |
|
|||
| The State Manager system (SM) is a set of tools, developed at CERN, for the control of large data-acquisition systems. A dedicated object-based language is used to describe the various components of the data-acquisition system. Each component is declared in terms of finite state machines and sequences of parametrized actions to be performed for operations such as the start and end of a run. The description, written by the user, is translated into Ada to produce a run-control program capable of controlling processes in a distributed environment A Motif-based graphical interface to the control program displays the current state of all the components and can be used to control the overall dataa-cquisition system. The SM has been used by several experiments both at CERN and other organizations. We present here the architecture of the SM, some design choices, and the experience acquired from its use. | |||

| S17AIA03 | GLAD: A Generic Lattice Debugger | controls, operation, quadrupole, software | 566 |
|
|||
|
Funding: Work supported by Department of Energy contract DE-AC03-76SF00515. Today, numerous simulation and analysis codes exist for the design, commission, and operation of accelerator beam lines. There is a need to develop a common user interface and database link to run these codes interactively. This paper will describe a proposed system, GLAD (Generic LAttice Debugger), to fulfill this need. Specifically, GLAD can be used to find errors in beam lines during commissioning, control beam parameters during operation, and design beam line optics and error correction systems for the next generation of linear accelerators and storage rings. |
