  1. Alessandro Raimondo (ICE/MTA) ADE ICE workshop, 23th April 2009

  2. ADE Rapid Application Development Environment based on LabVIEW

  3. Why RADE?

  4. Users applications domains: • Beam Control JAVA • SCADA PVSS • Test & Development RADE LabVIEW, MatLab, scripts, etc.

  5. 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)

  6. 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

  7. Other reasons for choosing LabVIEW • We have a deep 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)

  8. What’s RADE?

  9. 2. Control Integration • Maintained interface libraries - CMW - DIM - RBAC - PLC • ORACLE - JAPC • SDDS 1. Installation • Clear LabVIEW version policy • NFS installation for Linux • TS installation (lvtsco) • Windows installation • Application server (lvdssco) • RADE servers (rade1 & abcopm01) 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

  10. Defined GUI Configuration files Application templates Documentation Training LabVIEW libs Support JAPC SDDS ORACLE The framework

  11. Where RADE is used?

  12. GUI Middleware RADE app Front-End 3rd party driver RADE used for equipment tests Integration in the 3 layers control architecture Equipment

  13. Optical Interface Board Tester (TE/MPE)

  14. Java GUI RADE app JAPC CMW wrapper FESA RADE used for specialist tools example of accelerators architecture Equipment

  15. SPS Power Converter View (TE/EPC)

  16. Java GUI JAPC FESA RADE used for GUIs example of accelerators architecture RADE app LV2JAPC Equipment

  17. Bunch Shape Measurement (BE/OP)

  18. Java GUI JAPC FESA RADE used for offline applications example of accelerators architecture RADE app SDDS lib SDDS Equipment

  19. Post Mortem Analysis (EN/ICE)

  20. What’s going on?

  21. Some data… Dates: • January 2008 (proposal, collection of libs) • May 2008 (GUI, templates and configuration) • August 2008 (training and documentation) Manpower: • 2 FTE (temporary) for development • 0.5 FTE (staff) for support Users: • 75 registered users

  22. Domains of use Test facilities Expert tools Machine development

  23. Next steps… Training side: • LabVIEW Intermediate II (14-15 May) • RADE workshop (26th May) • LabVIEW Basic I (8-10 June) Development side: • Jars in LabVIEW (~May) • LabVIEW alarms to Laser (~June) • LabVIEW to Logging DB (~June) • UNICOS in LabVIEW (~September)
