How to integrate all these software
developments in a control system :
You can support 24h/24 during the « on
call duties »
Which can still evolve
Which follows the « fast moving
computing world »
• New OS, compilers, etc ..
What are the guidelines we followed ?

The high level applications layer : ATK
• Unitary GUI components
– Help standardize the look and feel of the
applications
– Implements the core of “any” Tango Java client

GUI application integration
 Our Vision :
 “To give Machine and Beamline groups the
possibility to build their own GUI applications”
 “To keep a coherent look & feel for applications”
• Provide the same way of working with software
applications from one beamline to another
 The GlobalScreen industrial supervision
software
 Has been selected for Machine and Beamlines GUI
development
 But is only used on the presentation layer
DIFFABS application
 Technical facts
 GlobalScreen is based on java
 It allows integration of existing java widgets by drag and
drop

Software Status: GlobalSCREEN deployment
 Software control group commitment is limited to :
 A library of graphical widgets embedding TANGO “behaviour”
