TUPAB108	Upgrade of BTS Control System for the Taiwan Light Source	controls, EPICS, interface, operation	1570
	Y.-S. Cheng, J. Chen, K.T. Hsu, K.H. Hu, C.H. Huang, D. Lee, C.Y. Liao, C.Y. Wu NSRRC, Hsinchu, Taiwan
	The Taiwan Light Source (TLS) is a third generation of synchrotron light source, and it has been operated since 1993. The TLS control system is a proprietary design. It was performed minor upgrade several times to avoid obsolete of some system components and keep up-to-date during last two decades. The control system of BTS (Booster-to-Storage ring) transport line includes control interfaces of power supplies, screen monitors, vacuum and temperature. The cPCI (CompactPCI) based EPICS IOC (Input Output Controller) has been adopted for renewing TLS BTS control system to replace the existed VME based ILC (Intelligent Local Controller) to be as an easy-to-maintain control environment. Moreover, each TLS control console supports not only the existing control software interfaces, but also the newly developed EPICS graphical user interfaces. Upgraded TLS BTS control system had been successfully commissioning in February 2017. Compare new system with old system, new system provides more functionality, fast response, and highly reliability. The efforts are summarized at this paper.

TUPIK007	VisualPIC: A New Data Visualizer and Post-Processor for Particle-in-Cell Codes	simulation, software, plasma, interface	1696
	A. Ferran Pousa, R.W. Aßmann DESY, Hamburg, Germany A. Martinez de la Ossa University of Hamburg, Hamburg, Germany
	Numerical simulations are heavily relied on for evaluating optimal working points with plasma accelerators and for predicting their performance. These simulations produce high volumes of complex data, which is often analyzed by scientists with individually prepared software and analysis tools. As a consequence, there is a lack of a commonly available, quick, complete and easy-to-use data visualizer for Particle-In-Cell simulation codes. VisualPIC is a new application created with the aim of filling that void, providing a graphical user interface with advanced tools for 2D and 3D data visualization, post-processing and particle tracking. The program is developed under the principles of open source and with a modular design, an approach and architecture which allow interested scientists to contribute by adding new features or compatibility for additional simulation codes.

THPAB092	Orbit and Dispersion Tool at European XFEL Injector	laser, electron, dipole, quadrupole	3932
	N. Ghazaryan CANDLE SRI, Yerevan, Armenia M.E. Castro Carballo, W. Decking DESY, Hamburg, Germany
	Trajectory and electron beam size play an essential role in Free Electron Laser (FEL) obtainment. Since transverse dispersion changes off-energy particle trajectories and increases the effective beam size, dispersion and orbit must constantly be controlled and corrected along the whole lattice. In this paper the principles underlying the orbit and dispersion correction tool, developed at DESY, are described. The results of its testing on European XFEL injector are presented.

THPAB137	New Approach in Developing Open XAL Applications	interface, software, framework, controls	4043
	C. Rosati, E. Laface ESS, Lund, Sweden
	Open XAL project is a pure-Java open source development environment used for creating accelerator physics applications, scripts and services. Working with Open XAL requires developing a Java application with a prominent graphical user interface, allowing the final user to interact with the accelerator model, and to graphically view the results such interaction produced. Nevertheless the Open XAL support for specialized components (handling plotting, EPICS connection) and for a document-view application framework, relieving the developer of the burden related with this programming aspects, a lot of boilerplate code has still to be created, making the developer spending more time in UI than in accelerator physics code. In this paper a new approach in developing Open XAL applications is explained. Here the developer is relieved of the UI-related common code code by using software tools, allowing him to visually design the flow of data and events between the various elements of the applications (widgets and models), and automatically generate the application code, where code generation can be customized to use one of the available plugged programming languages (Java, Python, JS, …).

THPAB140	MAX IV Online Linac Model	linac, TANGO, simulation, controls	4047
	L. Isaksson, E. Mansten, S. Thorin MAX IV Laboratory, Lund University, Lund, Sweden
	An online linac model has been developed at MAX IV in order to enable a calculation of the properties of the linac beam based on the actual settings of the magnetic elements. The model is based on the Elegant simulation code and uses the design linac lattice file. A set of Matlab scripts fetch the actual settings of all elements via the Tango control system, pass these values on to Elegant and run the simulation. The model includes an optimization option for yielding desired beta- and alpha-function values at various points along the linac by calculating optimal settings for chosen elements.
