Presently at the MAX IV laboratory, Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) based synoptic are widely used for monitoring accelerator and beamline statuses due to their intuitive, interactive and easy controllable feature. However, synoptic views have historically been confined to desktop applications, rendering remote access less user-friendly. In addition, supporting and managing updates of synoptic...
Using web applications in a Software As A Service approach is increasingly becoming an important route for science facilities to provide tools to their users.
Diamond has developed two such applications; the XAS data repository and web-CONEXS.
The XAS data repository is a database of XAS data collected on standard or well characterized compounds, facilitating the storage and retrieval of...
After implementing a new Micro Frontend architecture two years ago, CERN's accelerator Controls group has acquired substantial expertise across various parts of the field. With an emphasis on agile development practices, Micro Frontends have facilitated shorter migration cycles, faster deliveries, and fostered a transformation in the development culture of web applications for accelerator...
Historically, experiments were carried out by scientists physically present on the instrument where their sample was being measured. Recent socio-economic changes have increased the need for tools and mechanisms providing remote secured access to control the instruments and to access the generated scientific data.
Amongst those tools, a real time visualization of the instrument, including...
The well-known application Slack is primarily used for instant messaging and sharing memes. However, according to the people who make it, Slack is "... a messaging app for business that connects people to the information that they need".
For instrument staff at a scientific facility that information might be the current state of hardware; statuses of various data acquisition services;...
