11. High Level Applications (HLA) • High level applications requirements are identified and being refined through use cases documented on a project wiki page (physics/controls/engineering). • High level application architecture is client/server • based on the EPICS version 4 network protocol: PVAccess • Servers are completed that provide: • Model Results • List of process variables based on function and attributes • Synchronous vector of data given a list of process variables. • Lattice domain services are under development. • Developer document for thin clients is being written in conjunction with the physics group. • Standard clients in CSS can be used to display HLA data • The software development is making good progress and collaborations with Swiss Light Source, Diamond, and an SBIR grant for Matlab support, should improve the outlook for a solid suite of tools.

12. IRMIS • Production tools available for:Component type editor,Component editor, Component Browser and Wiring Editor • Control group members have entered some component types – many remain to be captured. • Subsystem engineering groups have started spreadsheets to capture data and large scale insertion is needed. • Cable information is in spreadsheets – and large scale insertion is needed. • Rapid prototyping tools are in place to support developing applications: Lattice, Save Compare Restore (SCORE), Magnet Measurements, Component Inventory and History. Data installation and application development needed. • Collaboration with MSU provides Inventory and Elog. Data capture ready for power supply group on bar code reader and application. Elog needs to be integrated with Control System Studio and put into use. • Many tools are in place. Need to start large scale data insertion as tools are likely to need modification and extensions.

13. Control System Studio is the Operator Console • Adopted CSS for our user interface after evaluation • Redeveloped build environment and had it adopted by the collaboration • Developed a name server to return process variables by function • Developed a channel access package to provide all client functions and time synchronous vectors from an arrays of process variables. • Developed multichannel visualization tools • Need to integrate the MSU Elog into CSS • The collaboration with DESY and ORNL is providing solid support to mature the tool set and integrate the new physcis application functionality into this tool set.

14. ChannelFinder Viewer • CSS  Display  ChannelFinderViewer • Searching • Name, Property value, Tags • Regular Expressions using “*”, “?” • prop=val1, val2 is equivalent to prop=val1 OR prop=val2 • prop=val1 tag=myTag is equivalent to prop=val1 AND tag=myTag
