XAS DATA ACQUISITION AND ANALYSIS SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

本子项目是利用由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者（PI）可能已经从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金，因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是中心的，不一定是研究者的机构。SSRL仪器控制软件（ICS）的转换工作已经完成，使其独立于操作系统，并将SSRL数据采集软件（XAS-Collect和其他程序）迁移到新平台。新软件可在OpenVMS、Linux （UNIX）和Microsoft Windows （XP和2000）操作系统上运行。预计新的ICS软件将用作7-3号新波束线控制硬件和数据收集软件之间的主要接口，预计将于2006年2月开始调试。该软件提供向后兼容性，并且已经采购了一个计算机系统来运行遗留软件，直到其他XAS波束线转换完成。XAS实用软件，如用于控制探测器的GePlus软件和用于优化波束线和电子设备的例程（在XASUTILS下捕获），也特别被转换为与Microsoft Windows一起使用。在设计和发展专用波束线网络方面也取得了重大进展。具体来说，我们购买了一台专用防火墙机器，一台Fortinet Fortigate 1000。该防火墙机器将作为现有Fortigate 1000防火墙的故障转移合作伙伴安装，该防火墙已经保护了SPEAR和喷射器控制系统。此外，防火墙将提供的虚拟局域网（vlan）的设计也取得了进展。预计7-3号波束线将是第一条充分利用新网络架构的波束线。

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. Significant work has been completed 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 the new platforms. The new software can be 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 as the primary interface between control hardware and data collection software on the new beam line 7-3, commissioning of which is expected to commence February 2006. 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) are in particular also being converted for use with Microsoft Windows. Significant progress was also made in the design and development of a dedicated beam line network. Specifically, a dedicated firewall machine was purchased, a Fortinet Fortigate 1000. This firewall machine will be installed as a ¿¿fail-over¿¿ partner to the existing Fortigate 1000 firewall that already protects the SPEAR and Injector control systems. In addition, progress was made to the design of the Virtual Local Area Networks, or VLANs, that the firewall will provide. It is anticipated that beam line 7-3 will be the first beam line to take full advantage of the new network architecture.
