BLISS (BeamLine Instrumentation Support Software) is the new ESRF experiment control system that will be used to run the beamlines after the ESRF Extremely Brilliant Source upgrade (ESRF-EBS).BLISS provides a holistic approach to synchrotron experiments control. The scope of the project goes from hardware control up to the end-user interface. It is built as a modular pile of frameworks, that...

62. Karabo: Scientific Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition - Automation and High Data Rates

Steffen Hauf

13/05/2024, 11:30

In this lecture the challenges for control systems and data acquisition at large scientific facilities are introduced, using the European XFEL, and the Karabo Control System, as an example. We will cover experiment operation through asynchronous Python control software, and how large data volumes in the tens of gigabytes per second regime can be processed online and persisted.

63. NOMAD – More Than a Simple Sequencer

Paolo Mutti (ILL)

13/05/2024, 12:00

In this lecture NOMAD, the instrument control and data acquisition system at ILL, will be described. The software architecture and its functionalities will be described as well as all the possibilities offered to interact with the experiments both locally and from remote. The integration of the instrument control with automatic data reduction and machine learning for autonomous measurements...
