Data acquisition and control system, for HEDP experiments on FAIR and GSI, consists of a set of hardware–software modules (HSMs), each of which includes one measuring, diagnostic, or actuating device and the relevant program for acquisition or processing of experimental data. The HSM programs reside in several personal computers integrated into a local Ethernet network. Data communication between the HSM programs has been organized via the TCP/IP socket interface.

Connecting of devices using TekVISA /pyVISA The universal TekVISA/pyVISA driver has been selected to organize data communication between the programs and devices with unlike interfaces (RS232, GPIB, USB, and LAN). Using this driver, it is possible to organize data communication with the HSM programs with allowance for the specific command system of the device. The ActiveX component of the TekVISA driver is set up for access to the functions of the TekVISA program in the C, Delphi, Java language. Data acquisition and control system

Main advantages Scalability of system. The modular structure of system allows to add new elements easily Possibility to spend processing of experimental data in a mode of real time Carrying out of completely automated experiment with the description of the plan of experiment All initial and processed experimental data saving on the server Use of various programming languages for a writing of programs HSM of modules allows to reduce time of introduction of new elements of system The system is constructed on the basis of the traditional measuring equipment (oscillographs, CCD camera …) User friendly WEB interface Use possibility in additional experiments and stands (Magnet Scanner, PRIOR …) Data acquisition and control system
