CS Workshop, March 2019

Invitation

Dear Colleagues,

we, the experiment control system group @ GSI, would like to invite you to a workshop dedicated to the CS framework and the CS++ framework. Please feel free to forward this information to other colleagues.

The main idea behind this workshop is to bring the users and developers of CS and CS++ together to discuss about the present status and future developments.

This workshop will take place at GSI in KBW 2.28, from March 19, 2019, Tuesday, 09:00 to March 22, 2019, Friday, 12:00.

The first part of the workshop will consist of several small talks like in the previous years, However the larger part of this workshop will be a computer training course in which we want to show you how to program wthin CS++.

For the first part of the workshop we could run a Adobe Connect Web-Meeting in parallel, so that people from anywhere could join the workshop remotely. If you are interested to join via Web-Meeting, please tell HolgerBrand. We need some time to prepare.

• Join the Online-Meeting
• Informationen on Adobe Connect Meeting: http://webconf.vc.dfn.de/common/help/en/support/startmain.htm
• The Online-Meeting will be open half an hour before the start of the program.
• Please register yourself for remote participation by sending an e-mail to HolgerBrand by 19th of February 2019.

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 or not.

Prerequisite

You need your own development PC, Windows 7/10 with LabVIEW 2017+ and most modules installed. You need local_admin permissions on your PC. Prepare your development PC to allow Remote Desktop Connection if you plan to access it remotely.

LabVIEW Courses Core 1, 2, 3 are highly recommended. Refer to NI Self-Paced-Training, if you have a valid SSP contract.

NI software tools which are useful for our projects will be introduced at first:

• Source Code Control with Git (Can be installed with GSI Software-Center) and Sourcetree
• Measurement & Automation Explorer
• Distributed System Manager, Shared Variables, Data Logging & Supervisory Control
• DIAdem
• LabVIEW Repitition:
  • TDMS
  • LV event driven programming (Occurrence, Notifier, Queue, Semaphore, Rendezvous, Event-Structure & User Defined Events), VI-Server
  • DAQmx
  • Instrument driver

Later we will continue with:

• LVOOP
• Actor Framework
• CS++ libraries
