Rapid Application Development Environment based on LabVIEW

Learn about the Rapid Application Development Environment (RADE) based on LabVIEW, its characteristics, and its application in control systems, test facilities, and expert diagnostics. Discover the benefits of using LabVIEW, such as fast programming, drag and drop GUI development, wide range of analysis libraries, and integration with control infrastructure.

  1. Rapid Application Development Environmentbased on LabVIEW Adriaan Rijllart CERN EN-ICE CS Workshop, GSI, February 26-27, 2009

  2. Why? Adriaan Rijllart CERN EN-ICE

  3. Identified controls applications domains • Beam Control JAVA • SCADA PVSS • Test & Development LabVIEW, MatLab, scripts, etc. Rapid Application Development Environment (RADE) Adriaan Rijllart CERN EN-ICE

  4. 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) Adriaan Rijllart CERN EN-ICE

  5. LabVIEW programming language our contribution Requirements • Fast programming • Drag and drop GUI development • Rapid learning curve • Wide range of analysis libraries • Light/independent environment • Integration with the control infrastructure Adriaan Rijllart CERN EN-ICE

  6. Other reasons for choosing LabVIEW • We have a deep experience (more then 10 years) • CERN site license since many years • Commonly used in accelerators control in other labs: • LabVIEW is the second most used programming language used for accelerator control, as shown in ICALEPCS2007 presentations • A world wide LabVIEW Accelerator User Group has been set up by ORNL during ICALEPCS2007 • EPICS and Tango have made a LabVIEW interface to their environments, mainly for the same reasons (rapid application development) Adriaan Rijllart CERN EN-ICE

  7. …and for the accelerators at CERN? LabVIEW is widely used (with custom libraries made by equipment groups) Some examples … Adriaan Rijllart CERN EN-ICE
