XAS DATA ACQUISITION AND ANALYSIS SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. This project is focused on the conversion of SSRL¿s Instrument Control software (ICS) to become Operating System independent, and to migrate the SSRL Data Acquisition Software (XAS-Collect and other programs) to new platforms. The new software will run on the OpenVMS, Linux (UNIX) and Microsoft Windows (XP and 2000) operating systems. It is anticipated that the new ICS software will be used initially as the primary interface between control hardware and data collection software on the new BL7-3. The software provides backward compatibility and a computer system has been procured to run the legacy software until such a time as other XAS beam lines have been converted. XAS utility software, such as the GePlus software for control of detectors and routines for optimization of beam lines and electronics (captured under XASUTILS) have been converted for use with Microsoft Windows. A dedicated beam line network is also included in the project scope. Specifically, a dedicated firewall is being implemented using Virtual Local Area Networks, or VLANs.
