15. Management Approach • Matrix staffing approach • Project/Work Package breakdown • Graded Change Control • Control lead is primary interface between beamline staff and the rest of the department • If successful control leads feel embedded in both the department and beamline teams

16. Time Content Rational Unified Process |

18. Human Factors • Human factors basedon NREG-700 • Equipment vrs Task • Increased layers ofabstraction • Priority has been tailoring GUI applications to specific tasks/beamlines, we now need to look at a common look and feel across the facility

19. We Changed the Question... • Drop corresponds to new beamlines coming on and shift in interface.

20. Improving the Beam • Storage ring dipolestability improved(30ppm -> 15 ppm) • Power supply upgrades oninjection chain - nearly complete • Upgraded orbit correction software in place and ready for commissioning • Absolute power meter 1 % Accuracy and 50 nW Resolution (comp. with PTB)

21. Front End Electronics • Contract in place for thefirst µTCA system • Continuous scanning nowon VESPERS and SGM • Evaluation underway on RTEMS and motion control platform migration • Evaluation of pre-amps (2011/12)

22. User Oriented Software • Continue to achieve highuser satisfaction rates • We are moving forward on HXMA improvements • Human factors review are ongoing • Many of the concepts embedded in aquaman are based on the last years user meeting

23. Compute Canada • Silo disk storage available • Work in ongoing • In collaboration with SharNetthe FOXMAS analysissoftware have been developed and made available within ScienceStudio

24. AquamanThe Story • Superhero Mission: Transforming beamline software away from "Controlling Machines" to "Supporting Experiments“ • Spawned By: A creative design session of synchrotron users, beamline staff, and software developers in Summer 2010 • Seeks to Protect: The whole experimental process:  From planning and organizing old data, to running experiments on beamlines, to visualization, analysis, and making connections • Sidekick: "Dataman", a take-home version that lets scientists compare, process, visualize, and export their data, using the same interface they see on the beamline • Super Powers: Adapts to new beamlines and techniques in the blink of an eye.   Can run on almost any platform (Linux, Mac, Windows).    • Secret Abilities: Agile development; fast and frequent user feedback; modular design; integrated documentation. • Arch-Nemeses:  8AM mornings. TestBoy (his test suite).  Being confused with Aquaman, the lamest comic book character ever. Developed by: • Mark Boots, David Chevrier, Darren Hunter

25. Strategic Goals 2013/17 • Improved Beam Stability  (BPMs) • Improved Beam Stability  (Thermal Stability in the Storage Ring) • Storage Ring RF Transfer Line and Valve Box • Improved Machine Reliability • Common Data File Format • Calibration Service • Improve Control System Development Techniques • Replacement of Legacy Control Equipment • Increase the Performance of Data Acquisition Systems on CLS Beamlines • Improved Human Factors of Control and Data Acquisition Systems on Beamline

26. Requirements Management

27. PID Drawings • Generally used in thepast. • Relates field equipment tocontrol system inputs • Quite effective. • Moving towards computerised requirements management See ICALEPS2009 TUP47

28. MKS

29. MKS Requirements .....

30. Prodex

31. Motion Control at CLS • VME • Prodex OMS 58 and MaxV (the majority) • Standalone • ProdexMaxNet • Schnider Electric - Mdrive • Newport XPS • Special System • Bosh Controllers (IEC 61508 certifiable)

32. HXMA Experience • We had a OMS 58 Card destroy a mono on one of our hard x-ray beamlines • Problem was caused by a failed $2 IC that caused the FPGA to continue to pulse the motor • We now do dual redundant limit switches where practice with the outer set interlocking driver power.

33. Layout • Two breakoutboards • Colour CodedCat 5 cabling • Drivers locatednear the motors to reducenoise • Complex but it works

34. SSI Version • Traditional we have used absolute encoders only on the insertion devices • We are now using SSI encodors broadly • Using a special MaxV option. • MTS R-Series?

36. The Challenges • Beamline controls are very homogenous • More variability on data acquisition: • Common elements: • EPICS at the device layer • Common sign-on and home directories (Centrify) • Shared elements: • Most use our standard scanning engine • LOC interface for user built endstation • Variable elements: • Actual experiment control • Improved post-experiment data access

38. What is Science Studio? • Partnership with CLS, University of Western Ontario, IBM Canada, IBM Research, and LNLS • Database for experiment information • Common object models & rest interface • Plug-in modules • Multi-laboratory capability • Includes: • People (production) • Facility Info (production) • Training (production) • Data (Florescence and Diffraction) • Proposal (prototyped) • Schedule (prototyped)

39. Current High-level Data Model CLS beamline endstation

40. Science Studio • Applications are integrated through REST Interface • Applications can either be data acquisition oriented or data analysis oriented • They can also occur across multiple sites • Security implemented using CAS

41. Some Example Applications XRD/XRF by CLS Training by CLS SAXS Implemented by LNLS Science Studio Database Web VNC integration of Electron microscope UWO NanoFab By UWO/CLS Foxmas by UWO/SharcNet Peeakabook fitting software UWO

42. Next Step.... • Integrate sufficient user office functionality to obtain more metadata • Add additional upload capabilities from existing applications • Add additional viewing capability • Integrate eduroam/access federation

43. Thank you for your time.... Funding Partners

44. Potential Restructured Model endstation SGM beamline CLS

45. Options for DOI.... • Canada is a signatory to the OECD: “Declaration on Access to Research Data from Public Funding” • We should expect their to become a condition on the award of any federal research funding. • The European and DOE major facilities are moving toward the assignment of DOI numbers to data sets using a common system • DOE is following down the same path (lead by Oak Ridge) • Generally practice is for the facility to be the publisher of reference for data sets obtained by their users after the expiry of their embargo period. • DataCite Canada (operated by NRC is the register) • ScienceStudio requires minor modification to interface into the central register.

46. Canadian Access Federation • CLS has entered into an agreement with CANARIE on CAF • CAF – provides a mechanism for users to authenticate at CLS using their home institutions credentials • CANARIE has agreements with their counterparts providing international access • Currently three applications: • Edurom access for users/visitors while at the CLS • Edurom access for CLS staff when traveling at member institutions • Some ongoing work to integrate “CAS” layer in ScienceStudio with CAF servers at CLS. Significant potential to improve data transfer between CLS and Compute Canada facilities
