V. Corker et al., SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE OF THE SSC ACCELERATOR SYSTEMS STRING TEST, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section A, Accelerators, spectrometers, detectors and associated equipment, 352(1-2), 1994, pp. 47-49
The software architecture is described for the data acquisition and co
ntrol systems implemented to support a full cell test of collider are
section lattice components. The discussion is divided into description
s of the software applications for process controls, operator interfac
es, and data acquisition, archiving, and analysis. Specifics are prese
nted for the distributed implementation of the acquisition, archiving,
and analysis services, and their integration with a commercial Relati
onal Database Management System (RDBMS). The relational table structur
e used in the RDBMS is explained. Finally, system performance, lessons
learned, and future plans are summarized.
