Description

The Centre for Advanced Laser Applications (CALA) near Munich, Germany, is a university laser laboratory operating a high-power laser system and several experiment endstations. Although the system is quite large, resources are limited compared to a user facility both in budget and workforce. Our Tango based control system used for machine control and data acquisition is therefore often driven by the need for simple solutions and minimum complexity. After a general overview of our facility I will present some solutions to address these requirements, e.g. a simple alternative to using „nssm“ for Starter hosts in Windows, a Git monitor for easy deployment, and some first experiences with Taranta dashboards mixed with a custom synoptic view.
