Description
A new software system to test accelerator magnets has been developed at Fermilab
which employs a flexible component-based framework and allows for easy
reconfiguration and run-time modification. Various user interface, data
acquisition, analysis, and data persistence components can be configured to form
different measurement systems that are tailored to specific requirements. These can
be futher configured to meet the specific requirements of a magnet or test stand
type. The system has been designed with portability in mind and is capable of
working on various platforms, such as Linux, Solaris, and Windows. It can be
configured to use a local data acquisition subsystem or a remote data acquisition
computer, such as a VME processor running VxWorks. All hardware-oriented components
have been developed with a simulation option that allows for running and testing
measurements in the absence of data acquisition hardware.
