CS - A Control System Framework for Experiments

CS is a framework that can be used by many experiments. CS is a multi-threaded, event driven, object oriented and distributed framework with SCADA functionality. An experiment control system can be developed by combining the CS framework with experiment specific add-ons. CS is supported on MS-Windows and on Linux (real-time OS Pharlap, LabVIEW RT: please ask).

The software is GPL licensed.
