The Building BlocksThe Building Blocksgraphical user interface

• Central interface for setup and control of measurements

• C++ (Borland Builder)

• Communication based on TCP/IP proprietary protocol

• Data stored locally (binary format)

The Building BlocksThe Building Blocksgraphical user interface

• Static parameters are controlled with LV (UserGOG and special GOGs)

Changes necessary or wanted:

• communication GUI-LV via DIM

• asynchronous and multi-node data storage

• new timing device (NI-FPGA)

• new multi-channel power supply

Who does whatDietrich (wrote also the guiding document):

–trap specific archiver (promised already a long time ago)–changes of MM6.LV

Stefan:–changes of MM6.cpp–changes at EVA should not be required

Major Challenges and TimeMajor Challenges and Time

• C++ - LV protocol

• FPGA programming

• configuration/installation

• Overall a process that took about 9 month with the help of many people

SummarySummary

• The SHIPTRAP.exe based on CS 3.1 is running at SHIPTRAP, in Mainz and in Munich

• Preparations to implement CS 3.1. are ongoing at ISOLTRAP and at LEBIT

• After a debugging phase in Mainz and at SHIPTRAP it is running now mostly stable

• Small bugs and features under treatment ...

• Gain at SHIPTRAP: – new power supply to scan all channels, – new timing generator with short configuration time and

scannable. – decentralized data storage
