2. Rapid Application Development Environment based on LabVIEW A. Raimondo (AB/CO) ATC/ABOC Days, 21-23 January 2008

3. ATC/ABOC Days 2008 A. Raimondo (AB/CO) 2 Why?

4. ATC/ABOC Days 2008 A. Raimondo (AB/CO) 3 CO users applications domains LabVIEW, MatLab, scripts, etc.  Beam Control JAVA  SCADA PVSS  Test & Development Rapid Application Development Environment (RADE)

5. ATC/ABOC Days 2008 A. Raimondo (AB/CO) 4 Test & Development applications characteristics  Short lifetime applications (i.e. specific analysis)  Punctually used applications (i.e. expert diagnostics)  Rapidly evolving applications (i.e. machine development)  Stand-alone systems (i.e. test facilities)

6. ATC/ABOC Days 2008 A. Raimondo (AB/CO) 5  Fast programming  Rapid learning curve  Drag and drop GUI development  Wide range of analysis libraries  Light/independent environment  Fast programming  Rapid learning curve  Drag and drop GUI development  Wide range of analysis libraries  Light/independent environment Requirements LabVIEW programming language  Integration with the control infrastructure our contribution

7. ATC/ABOC Days 2008 A. Raimondo (AB/CO) 6 Other reasons for choosing LabVIEW  We have a deep experience (more then 10 years)  LabVIEW is one of the main programming language used for accelerator control in ICALEPCS2007 presentations  EPICS and Tango have made a LabVIEW interface to their environments, mainly for the same reasons (ease GUI development)  A world wide LV Accelerator User Group has been set up by ORNL during ICALEPCS2007  Commonly used in accelerators control in other labs:  Supported by IT department

8. ATC/ABOC Days 2008 A. Raimondo (AB/CO) 7 …and in AB? LabVIEW is widely used ( with custom libraries made by AB groups)
