LISE/M
LISE/M is an program system for the control of photon instruments and the recording of experimental data. LISE/M is used to set the beamline components as well as the measuring station-specific measuring devices. For the measuring sequences (scans), any parameter can be configured. The recorded data are displayed graphically as well as a measurement file. It is operated by a graphical interface, which is realized with LabVIEW. A script interface allows the processing of Python scripts. The hardware drivers for the measuring devices are designed in an object-oriented manner, which means a quick and easy change of measuring devices, without additional programming effort. The configuration of the entire system is done by means of an XML file.
LISE/M is implemented both as a "standard" version (for commissioning, for example), as well as a measuring station-specific version. The following table shows an overview of these versions:
| standard | individually |
| individual scan definitions | individual program sequence (Scan Engine) |
| individual EPICS variables can be defined by file | individual UI |
| EPICS Client | EPICS Client & Server |
| scalable displays & graphs | scriptable by remote interface |
| counter (NI PXIe-6612) | data can be visualized via the web interface |
LISE/M is currently being used at the following experimental stations (as of November2017):
| standard | individually |
| HE SGM | UE52-PGM NanoclusterTrap |
| U41-PEAXIS | |
| U41-TXM | |
| U125-2 RGBL-2 | |
| U125-2 10m-NIM | |
As a hardware platform PXI systems from National Instruments are used. The operating system is currently Windows 7 (as of November2017). The following hardware components can currently be integrated into the project "m" (as of November 2017):
- Keithley 6485 [electrometer]
- Keithley 6514 [electrometer]
- Keithley 6517A/B (incl. multiplexer-card) [electrometer]
- Lakeshore 336 [temperature controller]
- Stanford Research [frequency generator]
- Cryomagnetics 4G-100 [magnet power supply]
- Pfeiffer Maxi Gauge [6 channel vacuum measurement & control unit]
- Vacuubrand-MV10C Vario [diaphragm pump]
- Quantum Composer 9530 [pulse generator]
- EPICS Client
- EPICS Server
- NI PXIe-6612 [counter/timer (8 channels; 32-bit) with digital I/O (40 channels)]
- NI PXI-6704 [static analog output module: 16 bit (16 channels) with digital I/O (8channels)]
- NI DMM [multimeter]
- Acqiris [digitizer]
- aera ROD-4 [mass flow controller]
LISE/M has been developed as part of the MoVE (modernization and standardization of the experiment control at the storage ring BESSY II) project and represents the replacement of EMP SW & HW (AT96 bus system).
