Abstract
We have implemented a generic Data Acquisition (DAQ) solution for the MYRRHA test stand at Louvain-la-Neuve (Belgium). The work was motivated by the need for better sampling performance, signal quality, arbitrary processing and storage of measurements. A full integration of the DAQ system into the global EPICS control environment was a strong requirement. An intermediate DAQ platform was put in place to satisfy the control and experiment needs. The NI PXI platform was selected to minimize integration and development effort. National Instruments (NI) LabVIEW is used to create a generic DAQ application and the CALab library, supported by DESY, is used to connect LabVIEW and EPICS. A Control System Studio GUI provides the user with the necessary control, visualization and configuration capability. The technical and organizational approach to the collaboration will be detailed in the paper, as well as the necessary customizations of CSS and CALab and experience of using NI PXI for a DAQ platform.
