Windows based camera IOC with a SMB branch

• Basic concept

• easy to compile (EPICS-base, GNU-make)

• fast switching between IOC and manufacture software

• viewer for alignment and recording

• high throughput data transfer branch

• different ways to use and control the camera (Java/Matlab; pure EPICS)

Windows based camera IOC with a SMB branch

• implemented Software Development Kits (SDK)

• PCO Sensicam e.g. Sensicam / UV

• PCO HS e.g. 1200-hs, DIMAX

• Andor e.g. Newton, Clara, iDUS

• Pylon (Basler)

Windows based camera IOC with a SMB branch

• Camera IOC

Windows based camera IOC with a SMB branch

• Java object

• JCA (Cosylab)

• One central object for all camera types.

• Can be used in MATLAB

• The users can use one interface to program by different cameras

windows based camera IOC with a SMB branch

• Data transfer via SMB

• the IOC writes the data direct to a SMB fileserver

• user specified login

• password is secured via RSA/1024

• Java program for the password

Windows based camera IOC with a smb branch

• Problems

• using the camera dynamically (e.g. power-switch, USB or GigE)

• master / slave (e.g. long exposure times)

• black box SDK (e.g. high data rates)

• Monitors in MATLAB (memory leak)

Windows based camera IOC with a smb branch

• Used

• OBLA gun test stand

• opt. streak-camera of diagnostic of SLS

• TOMCAT beamline high speed tomography

• hard x-ray streak-camera (own project)

Windows based camera IOC with a SMB branch

• Summary

• Windows-based camera support

• users can switch between “normal” and IOC – mode

• several entry points to use the system

• the client side is more flexible (e.g. standalone Java or MATLAB)

• SMB access
