WDM experimental setup at GSI HHT
Data
acquisition
and
control
system,
for
HEDP
experiments
on
FAIR
and
GSI,
consists
of
a
set
of
hardware
–
software
modules
(HSMs),
each
of
which
includes
one
measuring,
diagnostic,
or
actuating
device
and
the
relevant
program
for
acquisition
or
processing
of
experimental
data
.
The
HSM
programs
reside
in
several
personal
computers
integrated
into
a
local
Ethernet
network
.
Data
communication
between
the
HSM
programs
has
been
organized
via
the
TCP/IP
socket
interface
.

Software Modules (HSM) for prototype of system for GSI HHT experiments
Connecting of devices using TekVISA
/pyVISA
The
universal
TekVISA/pyVISA
driver
has
been
selected
to
organize
data
communication
between
the
programs
and
devices
with
unlike
interfaces
(RS
232
,
GPIB,
USB,
and
LAN)
.
Using
this
driver,
it
is
possible
to
organize
data
communication
with
the
HSM
programs
with
allowance
for
the
specific
command
system
of
the
device
.
The
ActiveX
component
of
the
TekVISA
driver
is
set
up
for
access
to
the
functions
of
the
TekVISA
program
in
the
C,
Delphi,
Java
language
.

Main advantages
•
Scalability
of
system
.
The
modular
structure
of
system
allows
to
add
new
elements
easily
•
Possibility
to
spend
processing
of
experimental
data
in
a
mode
of
real
time
•
Carrying
out
of
completely
automated
experiment
with
the
description
of
the
plan
of
experiment
•
All
initial
and
processed
experimental
data
saving
on
the
server
•
Use
of
various
programming
languages
for
a
writing
of
programs
HSM
of
modules
allows
to
reduce
time
of
introduction
of
new
elements
of
system
•
The
system
is
constructed
on
the
basis
of
the
traditional
measuring
equipment
(oscillographs,
CCD
camera
…
)
•
User
friendly
WEB
interface
•
Use
possibility
in
additional
experiments
and
stands
(Magnet
Scanner,
PRIOR
…
)
