Description

We are integrating Tango Controls into a high-intensity laser system currently operated by standalone actor model based LabVIEW applications on Windows. Our goal is a smooth step-by-step migration toward a fully open-source control infrastructure, gradually phasing out proprietary software. A key objective is to enable highly automated data acquisition in accordance with the F.A.I.R. principles (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable).
We will share our experiences from this transition process and also present our newly initiated collaboration with the company S2Innovation, which may be of interest to the wider Tango community. This includes the migration of the HIJ-Vision library tailored for laser laboratory, the revision of the Tango thread locking mechanism, the extension of Sardana with custom commands and the customization of the Sardana for typical workflow during high-intensity laser experiments.
