Summary of current status in RunControl
Frontend Control/Monitoring
- IOC on LynxOS works reliable
- implementation of "blub_lib" interface to IOC done for status and control, EPICS mechanism well understood, extensions seem easily possible
- instead of a sequencer, the control of one complete crate is done via a sseq record, works ok
- one ioc holds true for all subsystems, ioc database templates are written, substitutions for rich[012] exist and are tested
- error handling is missing
- control of the whole system (replacement for hadaq.tcl) may be done via a sequencer on lxhadesdaq
- IOC doesn't run on E7, special solution or wait for Linux?
- many more monitoring ideas, e.g. buffer fill status to detect bottlenecks like bad watermark
Database
- VOID, still completely done with tcl parameter files
- Idea about integration of DB into GUI via web browser in "kiosk" mode
GUI
- MEDM is not the perfect solution, but we will stick with it
- Automatic generation of ADL files will be necesseary
- Mix MEDM with web browser
Manpower
- is at HP Bad Homburg Monday to Wednesday next week
