The GDA project is an open-source<br>> framework for creating customized data acquisition software <br>> for science<br>> facilities such as neutron and x-ray <http://www.lightsources.org/><br>> sources. It includes in addition some complementary <br>> pre-release analysis<br>> and visualization software from the analysis team.<br>> <br>> We hope that this may be of use in other facilities and, ideally, that<br>> we may be able to profit from the value that you may <br>> contribute. Please<br>> consult the website www.opengda.org <http://www.opengda.org/> for the<br>> latest information but we list below briefly some of the <br>> features of the<br>> software:<br>> <br>> GDA was initially developed at SRS Daresbury <http://www.srs.ac.uk/><br>> but since 2003 it has been adopted by Diamond Light Source<br>> <http://diamond.ac.uk/> who took over as the principal developer.<br>> <br>> The software is released under the GPLv3. <br>> <br>> * Eclipse RCP graphical interface (there is a Swing interface<br>> which is being phased out) <br>> * Embedded Jython interpreter for scripting and command-line<br>> control <br>> * Control system agnostic: internal interfaces in the code enable<br>> the control system(s) that operate individual pieces of hardware to be<br>> abstracted from the rest of the code. <br>> * Diffcalc <http://www.opengda.org/OpenGDA/About/Diffcalc.html><br>> for diffractometer control in reciprical lattice space. <br>> * Distributed design: multiple object servers representing<br>> hardware communicating with multiple clients via CORBA <br>> * Role-based access control to restrict users operations on<br>> hardware where necessary <br>> * Baton control: multiple client GUIs may run at the same time on<br>> each beamline with control managed by a baton passed between them. <br>> * Nexus <http://www.nexusformat.org/> data file format. Other<br>> formats are used and may be implemented, but the code is optimised for<br>> the Nexus format. <br>> * Nexus data file viewer within the GDA client. <br>> * Online data analysis and visualisation<br>> <br>> The Diamond Light Source<br>> Data Acquisition and Scientific Computing teams<br>> <br>> -- <br>> This e-mail and any attachments may contain confidential, <br>> copyright and or privileged material, and are for the use of <br>> the intended addressee only.
