Control tools and DAQ in SM18 15mSpeaker: Maryline Charrondiere (CERN)
Main characteristics:
- One application per Use-case
- Use of Labview and PLC software
- Run on Windows/Linux and RT-Linux
- Used in SM18, FAIR and FREIA
Overview of Labview tools (table for details)
- CCM, Bench Select, Powersupply tools
- DAQ for Quench analysis, 200kHz/10kHz. 2 mobile racks
- HV Tests (DAQ + analysis)
- FO DAQ software
- Online data extraction + conversion
- Online display of data
- Data Browser (Diadem)
Labview tools Responsibility
- Developed etxernally, by EN-SMM-MTA
- Contact person/Responsible within MTA: Hubert Reymond
- 2.5 People assigned to work on TF development an support
- good communication, and years of experience in collaboration
PLC Software
- Used for Interlocks and pesonal safety for all test stations
- Cryo cooler
- Anticryostat
- SM18 and FAIR
- Future need for PLC software in Clusters F,A and G
Responsibility / Development
- Deveopment “externally” at CERN, by BE-ICS-AP (Enrique Blanco Vinuela)

Control tools and DAQ for MM 15mSpeaker: Mr Matthias Bonora (CERN)
* DAQ/control needs to be flexible due to many options of hardware/measurements
* Sometimes analysis is online during acquisition
* most measurement racks are mobile
* test engineer responsible to implement hardware/software (developer)
* FFMM in C++. Many years of development. Includes a GUI generator.
* one FFMM application per "type of test" (example: one for rotating coil, one for stretched wire, etc)
* FFMM communicates directly with Infor/EDMS/DB
* Data stored in EDMS and NFS
* FFMM application also controls power converter
* online analysis: using Matlab (good for sharing code) and C++* FFMM does DAQ, control and some analysis simultaneously
* mostly developed by students, at the start ~3 students at 100 % during 3-4 years, now one fellow at ~30%. More resources would be needed to continue development
* rough estimation: 20 years-person -

Data analysis tools for MM 15mSpeaker: Lucio Fiscarelli (CERN)
* There are a handful of standard tests (with standard analysis and processing) such as rotating coils, stretched wire etc.
* in SM18: current synchronization with measurement done by precise timestamp (from CERN network or from GPS)
* trying to implement online analysis where possible. It is helpful to diagnose problems
* Often, some online analysis is required to continue with the tests (example: stretched wire, to find the center and measure field in the center)
* Matlab for offline processing, moving from Matlab towards compiled Matlab/C++ for online analysis for faster processing
* Automatic report: not very advanced yet, but planned to design and implement
* Data size: ~5h measurement is ~1 GB -

Data analysis tools in SM18 15mSpeaker: Franco Julio Mangiarotti (CERN)
- Software developed within Section
- DIAdem as central point
- Tools build on top of DIAdem, Carpender
- Code is shared on Gitlab
- A master branch is maintained on Server to have a stable set of tools
- Allows for Quick & Simple or more comprehensive analysis, depending on tool
- Plan to add Tutorial videos/teach operators to use more complex features of DIAdem programs
Generation of Measurement Reports
- Effort was done for more comprehensive Report generation, but not for Magnets yet
- This is planned in future, and currently in early development/planning stage
- Data structure, report structure and storage, Edit features
Regarding nomenclature (Stephan)
- We should distinguish between a Protocol and Report
- Protocol is a quick summary which we can share quickly after a measurements, with the indication that this is not the final output
- Report is more comprehensive and complete, and involves additionally more sophisticated analysis and interpretation
