Experiment Control System Workshop, April 2023

Invitation

Dear Colleagues,

we, the experiment control system group @ GSI, would like to invite you to our annual workshop on control systems for nuclear physics experiments. Please feel free to forward this information to other colleagues.

In the past our workshop was focused mainly on the LabVIEW based CS-framework and its successor CS++ which were both developed at GSI. Since National Instruments as the developer of LabVIEW has modified its price policy in the last years we have decided that we will also start working on alternatives for the future. For this reason we want to widen the scope of this years workshop to alternative development tools and techniques (examples are Python, EPICS).

Whereas at the first two days there will be presentations about various control system related topics, the remaining time will be used for tutorials and hands-on courses depending on the requested needs.

This workshop is planned to take place at GSI in the IT training class room (SB3 1.239a), from April 25, 2023, Tuesday, 13:00 to April 28, 2023, Friday, 12:00.

For the first part of the workshop we will also run a zoom meeting: It would be nice if you could provide us with some suggestions about the topics you would like to be informed about and and/or the topics you would like to discuss. Please let us know, if you intend to come to the workshop.

There is also an indico webpage for the workshop: https://indico.gsi.de/event/17490/
