LabVIEWCore Iwith RADE introduction • EN/ICE/MTA
ADE Rapid Application Development Environment based on LabVIEW
Users applications domains: • Beam Operation JAVA • SCADA PVSS • Test & Development RADE LabVIEW, MatLab, scripts, etc.
Test & Development applications characteristics • Short development time applications (i.e. specific analysis) • Rapidly evolving applications (i.e. machine development) • Punctually used applications (i.e. expert diagnostics) • Stand-alone systems (i.e. test facilities)
LabVIEW programming language our effort Test & Development applications requirements • Fast programming • Rapid learning curve • Drag and drop GUI development • Wide range of analysis libraries • Light/independent environment • Integration with CERN infrastructures
Other reasons for choosing LabVIEW • We have a long experience (more then 10 years) • Officially supported at CERN • Commonly used for control in other research labs: EPICS and Tango have made a LabVIEW interface to their environments, mainly for the same reason (rapid application development)
2. Control Integration • Maintained interface libraries - CMW - DIP - RBAC - SDDS • SQL - JAPC 1. Installation • Clear LabVIEW version policy • NFS install for Linux • TS install (lvtsco) • Windows install (cmf) • Application server (lvdssco) • RADE servers (rade1 & rade2) 4. Development help • Trainings (cta) • RADE events (indico) • Documentation (edms) • Defined GUI • Application templates • Configuration files 3. Support • Webpage (http://cern.ch/rade) • Mailing list (rade-users@cern.ch) • Direct user support The building blocks
Defined GUI Configuration files Application templates Documentation Training LabVIEW libs Support JAPC SDDS SQL The framework DIP

Investment People involved: • 2 FTE (temporary) for development • 0.5 FTE (staff) for support Users: • 80 registered RADE users (on 430 LabVIEW users)
Present domains of use… Test facilities Expert tools Machine development
… evolving to supervision • Interface to DIP • Interface to LASER alarms • libnodave wrapper for Siemens PLCs • UNICOS in LabVIEW Operation domain SCADA domain
