	An accelerator has various subsystems like Magnet Power Supply, Beam Diagnostics and Vacuum etc. that are required to work in a stable manner to ensure required machine performance. Logging of system parameters at a faster rate plays a crucial role in analysing and understanding machine behaviour. Logging all the machine parameters consistently at the rate of typically more than 1 Hz has been the aim of a recent data logging system upgrade. Nearly ten thousand parameters are being logged at varying intervals of one second to one minute in Indus accelerator complex. The present logging scheme is augmented to log all these parameters at a rate equal to or more than 1 Hz. The database schema is designed according to data type of the parameter. The data is distributed into historical table and intermediate table comprising of recent data. Machine control applications read the parameter values from the control system and store them into the text-files of finite time duration for each sub-system. The logging application of each subsystem passes these text files to database for bulk insertion. The detail design of database, logging scheme and its architecture is presented in the paper.

WEPD44	FPGA Data Block FIFO for the APS ID Measurement System	controls, photon, insertion-device, background	79

	Funding: Work supported by U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Sciences, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357 A Hall probe insertion device (ID) measurement system has been developed to characterize the IDs at the Advanced Photon Source (APS). The system uses the latest state-of-the-art field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology to synchronize the position and Hall voltage measurements. Data block first-in-first-out (FIFO) has been implemented to transfer the data from the FPGA to the host computer during measurement. The system is capable of continuous scanning measurements on a full 6 meter bench at 1 ms per data point with the position resolution of 1 micron and Hall voltage precision of 5-1/2 digits.

	Data storage is a primary issue in any research facility. In the EPICS middleware based accelerator community, Channel Archiver has been always considered the main reference. It works with Oracle and MySQL, probably the best well known relational databases. However, demanding requirements at minimum costs have fostered the development of a wide range of alternatives, like protocol buffers (SLAC), MSDPlus (Consorzio RFX), SciDB (BNL) or Hypertable (IFNF). This document launches a tool called HyperArchiver, which was firstly developed at IFNF (Italy) and eventually customised by ESS Bilbao (Spain). Based on a NoSQL database named Hypertable, it focuses on large data sets management with maximum scalability, reliability and performance. Besides the update and further customization made at ESS Bilbao, HyperArchiver is presented with a set of GUIs, in order to provide an easy use and integration with any general control system. A LabVIEW VI and two cross-platform PyQt GUIs for both Hypertable data retrieval and HyperArchiver control have been developed and successfully tested at ESS Bilbao.
