What Came Before…
(my personal collection of accelerator data acquisition)
>TESLA Test Facility at DESY, Hamburg
> Access to accelerator process variables from MATLAB, C++ (read/write)
> Easy to write data acquisition software, scan parameters, record variables…
> Data stored in .MAT, ASCII & ROOT files
> No common data format
> Experts required to set up scan, analyze data…
>SLAC LINAC at Stanford, California
> VAX-based control system
> Scan software to determine the dependency of a variable on a parameter
> On-line display & fits
> Writes MATLAB 4 files for further analysis

Design Goals
> Have a universal scan and data acquisition software
> Well-tested scan core
> Universal GUI to set up scan easily
> Specialized GUIs for easy access for regularly performed scans
> Error checking and treatment
> Common HDF5-based file format for easy access from any data analysis code
> Automatic generation of logbook entries
> Link to auxiliary information on accelerator configuration
> Synchronized data acquisition
Bolko Beutner, Helge Brands, Rasmus Ischebeck: ADAQA

Data File Format
> Hierarchical format to store Instruments
> Based on HDF5
> Readable from Matlab, Root, Mathematica…

Accelerator Data Acquisition
Many accelerator measurements
consist of the following tasks:
>Control 0…N actuators
>Acquire 1…M measurements
>Analyze data
Important features
>On-line analysis
>Reasonable error handling
>Robust code for use by other
persons than the programmer

ADAQA Layers
> ADAQA consists of several separate
building blocks
> Applications, written by different
programmers, make use of the same
data acquisition code
> Instruments gather connected
devices
> Logbook
> Common data storage format
> Online model*
> Device information server*
> Synchronized data acquisition
* ongoing work, not yet ready for prime
time

ADAQA Layers
Applications
> Tree-like structure:
> Many devices (roots)
> One data acquisition core (trunk)
> Many applications (branches)
> Building blocks can be exchanged

Synchronized Data Acquisition
> All VME crates for diagnostics are equipped with
an Event Receiver
> Connected with a star topology network to the
Event Generator
> Supported for:
> BPMs, Bunching monitor, RF, …
> Ongoing work:
> Laser shutter, oscilloscopes, cameras

Scan Templates
• Scans can be stored in Template files
• The last scan is always stored as template
–“Repeat Last Scan…”-Button
• Data files are scan templates as well
–All scans can be exactly repeated
• Templates can handed over to the scan tool at startup
–example: extracted charge vs. gun phase scan

Scan Tools Summary
• General and specialised scan tools are possible with ADAQA
–a wide variety of tools is available
• Common data format
• Templates
–data files are templates – for all tools
• Actions
–e.g. automatic screen insertion or background subtraction
• Analysis functions
• Automatic logbook entries

Problems:
• available buffers on IOC are not used
• „lost“ of measured data
• high frequencies can‘t be reached
• high CPU load on workstations

Why?
•less radiation
•higher recording speed (10Hz/100Hz)
•independent of the workstation (CPU and memory)
•system is similar to SLS (Tomcat, in operation, 1* PCO Edge)

Current situation
•WHLA: each Camera-IOC has 1GB/s (enough for 10Hz)
•3 PCO Edge in operation + 1 PCO Edge in preperation
•upload to AFS max 50MB/s
•software is ready for 100Hz
•needed network speed 10GBit/s for 100 Hz
•other GIGE cameras can be used too
•additional compute nodes should be planned
•storage policies are needed
