4. F. Herfurth - Ion Traps migrate to CS 3.1 The Building Blocks graphical user interface

5. F. Herfurth - Ion Traps migrate to CS 3.1 The Building Blocks graphical user interface Central interface for setup and control of measurements C++ (Borland Builder) Communication based on TCP/IP proprietary protocol Data stored locally (binary format)

6. F. Herfurth - Ion Traps migrate to CS 3.1 The Building Blocks graphical user interface Static parameters are controlled with LV (UserGOG and special GOGs)

7. F. Herfurth - Ion Traps migrate to CS 3.1 The Building Blocks sequencer = central process Configure devices Configure timing Start Step (set new function value) Initiate read data from acquisition device Stop? No

8. F. Herfurth - Ion Traps migrate to CS 3.1 The Building Blocks real devices arbitrary function generator PPG100 – pattern generator ISEG Powersupply EHQ... BNC Delay/Gate generator GSI HV-Switch...

9. F. Herfurth - Ion Traps migrate to CS 3.1 Structure D. Beck et al. NIM A 527 (2004) 567–579

10. F. Herfurth - Ion Traps migrate to CS 3.1 Structure D. Beck et al. NIM A 527 (2004) 567–579 Changes necessary or wanted: communication GUI-LV via DIM asynchronous and multi-node data storage new timing device (NI-FPGA) new multi-channel power supply

11. F. Herfurth - Ion Traps migrate to CS 3.1 TrapCS 3.1 – Start in May 2007 MM6.LV MM6.CPP - 1MM6.CPP - 2MM6.CPP - 3 EventBuilder Archiver - 1 Archiver - 2 MCS Who does what Dietrich (wrote also the guiding document): –trap specific archiver (promised already a long time ago) –changes of MM6.LV Stefan: –changes of MM6.cpp –changes at EVA should not be required

12. F. Herfurth - Ion Traps migrate to CS 3.1 Major Challenges and Time C++ - LV protocol FPGA programming configuration/installation Overall a process that took about 9 month with the help of many people

13. F. Herfurth - Ion Traps migrate to CS 3.1 Summary The SHIPTRAP.exe based on CS 3.1 is running at SHIPTRAP, in Mainz and in Munich Preparations to implement CS 3.1. are ongoing at ISOLTRAP and at LEBIT After a debugging phase in Mainz and at SHIPTRAP it is running now mostly stable Small bugs and features under treatment... Gain at SHIPTRAP: –new power supply to scan all channels, –new timing generator with short configuration time and scannable. –decentralized data storage
