WEPD24	STARS on Android	controls, GUI, factory, LabView	51
	T. Kosuge KEK, Ibaraki, Japan
	STARS (Simple Transmission and Retrieval System) is a message transferring software for small scale control systems with TCP/IP socket, which works on various types of operating systems. STARS is used as beamline control system and it controls optical devices (mirror, monochrometer etc.) of beamline at the Photon Factory. We have succeeded to run STARS GUI Client on Android with STARS Java interface library this time. This success brings capability of handy GUI terminal development with smartphones and tablet devices. The handy GUI terminal helps beamline users when checking movement near optical devices. We will describe detail of "STARS on Android".

WEPD44	FPGA Data Block FIFO for the APS ID Measurement System	controls, insertion, insertion-device, background	79
	J.Z. Xu, R.I. Farnsworth, I. Vasserman ANL, Argonne, USA
	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.

WEPD52	Diamond Light Source Control Systems Relational RDB	controls, EPICS, storage-ring, status	87
	K. Vijayan, M.T. Heron, S.J. Singleton Diamond, Oxfordshire, United Kingdom
	The functionality of the Diamond Light Source Relational Database (RDB) will be described in this article. An Oracle-based RDB and web-based GUIs allow recording of system configuration information and configuration change management. Information about the hardware components that make up each beam line crate is stored in the RDB; for each item of control equipment, the status, location and name of the person responsible for the item are held. The Diamond Control System is based on EPICS and has of the order of 500,000 process variables (PVs); the RDB maintains a record of the names of these PVs and validates new names against the Diamond Naming Convention, allowing consistency of naming style to be maintained and avoiding name duplication. Machine operational details such as alarm logs are stored in the RDB and viewed using a web browser. All process data recorded by the control software are archived using the EPICS Channel Archiver; the Archiver configuration for each technical area is maintained in the RDB. A further application using the RDB is the electronic logbook (ELOG) which is used to record activities by Diamond Operations and Beamline groups.

THIA02	Current Status and Upgrade Plan of the Data-Acquisition System at SACLA	laser, status, free-electron-laser, electron	90

	This paper presents current status and upgrade plan of a data-acquisition (DAQ) system for SACLA user experiments. The X-ray Free-Electron Laser facility in SPring-8, SACLA, has achieved first SASE lasing in June 2011, and has delivered X-ray laser beams to users from March 2012 [1]. For the user experiments at SACLA, a dedicated DAQ system has been developed. The DAQ system is currently capable to operate with maximum 10 sensors of multiport Charge-Coupled Device (MPCCD) for X-ray detection. With this configuration, the MPCCD generates 10 MBytes data per accelerator beam shot, which is equivalent to 5 Gbps data rate at 60 Hz beam repetition. During the first experimental period from March to July 2012, the DAQ system carried out 25 experimental proposals that covered atom, molecular and optical physics, ultrafast science, material science, and structure biology. In this paper, we present an overview of the DAQ system with special emphasis on the high-speed data cache, and data visualization by on-site PC clusters. An upgrade plan of the DAQ storage more than 3 PBytes and the on-line data-analysis with the off-site 10 PFlops supercomputer ("K computer") are also discussed. [1] T.
