2. ADE Alessandro Raimondo (ICE/MTA) ICE workshop, 23 th April 2009

3. 2/24 ADE Rapid Application Development Environment based on LabVIEW

4. 3/24 Why RADE?

5. 4/24 Users applications domains: LabVIEW, MatLab, scripts, etc. Beam Control JAVA SCADA PVSS Test & Development RADE

6. 5/24 Test & Development applications characteristics  Punctually used applications (i.e. expert diagnostics)  Rapidly evolving applications (i.e. machine development)  Stand-alone systems (i.e. test facilities)  Short development time applications (i.e. specific analysis)

7. 6/24  Fast programming  Rapid learning curve  Drag and drop GUI development  Wide range of analysis libraries  Light/independent environment Test & Development applications requirements LabVIEW programming language  Integration with CERN infrastructures our effort

8. 7/24 Other reasons for choosing LabVIEW  We have a deep experience (more then 10 years) EPICS and Tango have made a LabVIEW interface to their environments, mainly for the same reason (rapid application development)  Commonly used for control in other research labs:  Officially supported at CERN

9. 8/24 What’s RADE?

10. 9/24 4. Development help  Trainings (cta)  RADE events (indico)  Documentation (edms)  Defined GUI  Application templates  Configuration files The building blocks 3. Support  Webpage (http://cern.ch/rade)  Mailing list (rade-users@cern.ch)  Direct user support 1. Installation  Clear LabVIEW version policy  NFS installation for Linux  TS installation (lvtsco)  Windows installation  Application server (lvdssco)  RADE servers (rade1 & abcopm01) 2. Control Integration  Maintained interface libraries - CMW- DIM - RBAC- PLC - ORACLE- JAPC - SDDS

11. 10/24 The framework Training Support Defined GUI Application templates Configuration files Documentation ORACLE SDDS JAPC libs LabVIEW
