A few words to introduce the workshop and launch the session of the day.
The status of the GUI developments at the ESRF and beyond.
ALBA, a 3rd Generation Synchroton located near Barcelona in Spain, is in operation since 2012. ALBA controls system is based on Tango and we developed Taurus library to build our GUIs for both accelerators and beamlines. Taurus evolved into a community project, is a popular choice for developing GUIs within Tango community, and we continued its enhancement and maintenance during the last 10...
We present GUIs mainly used by ALBA accelerator subsystem experts. These applications, fully developed by ALBA controls engineers using Taurus, hide the complexity of the control system behind a compact view with hundreds of variables.
We present GUIs used by ALBA beamline scientists and users. Vast majority of these GUIs are developed by ALBA controls engineers using Taurus, and fullfil the need of a very specific experimental techniques. Beamline operation also requires simple and quick to prepare GUI solutions for less complex activities where Taurus tools prove correct.
We present GUIs used for operation of ALBA accelerators. These applications were fully developed by ALBA operators following different approaches in which Taurus library played a crucial role.
