  2. Main software and OS Status Reminder • Main goals for Em# project: • Be replacement of current Em (same specification). • Reuse HW as mush as possible for future developments. • The ALIN software (main software) and Gateware were designed aiming for high versatility in the application design and easy user control of the equipment. • Easy user control: offers both remote and local control interfaces. Remote control is available via telnet (using the SCPI protocol ) or via web through a webserver. Local control is available through navigation menus using the touch-screen display. • Versatility: means that the software is easily adaptable to new features. • Use of Self Describing Bus (SDB). • Use of Harmony bus. • Written in python. • Simple SW architecture. ALIN is a multipurpose software customized to work as an electrometer. 2 23/7/2019

  3. Main software and OS Status Em# Main App ALIN ALIN tools • SW architecture divided in layers: • Linux drivers: to control the HW (Spec, tcp/ip, i2c..) • Alin drivers: python modules that controls an specific piece of hardware or protocol (SCPI lib) • Applications: control algorithms and user applications in this layer. • The Harmony Control module contains the specific functionality of the Em# • Linux: custom light OS Linux distribution build with Yocto, with the basic drivers and functionality to run the Em# Applications Web SCPI Display Harmony Ctrl (R/W fns(Fast/Slow Bus)) Diags Drivers Tornado lib ADC CORE FIFO ID Gen AVG MEM SPI Edip128 SCPI Mcp 23008 Ads 7828 Linux (Yocto) Alindev wbfiles Alin Linux Drivers Spec.ko i2c_dev.ko tcp/ip Fmc.ko I2C PCIe I2C Display PSB SPEC (FPGA) Network • ALIN tools: Set of tools to be used from a terminal to monitor and control the status of the equipment: • alin: monitor status of spec board • alingen: to generate harmony device lib files • autocalibration: to calibrate Em# • calib: To configure calibrator unit or check the Em# EEPROM’s Reminder 3 23/7/2019
