We guide you through the changes in cppTango in the last year and what is upcoming.
Tango attributes often fluctuate around warning/alarm thresholds due to noise, quantization, or control-loop oscillations, causing repeated state changes, event floods, and noisy alarm logs. This leads to operator overload and unreliable statistics, while the only current mitigation is widening thresholds and losing sensitivity to real trends. We implement hysteresis around warning and alarm...
We report on the status of the work to get device level dynamic attributes support working.
Latest news from the PyTango project.
OpenTelemetry support was added to cppTango and PyTango in version 10.0.0, but a major limitation is that you have to start your device server with telemetry enabled. There is no way to turn it on or off later, at runtime.
In cppTango and PyTango 10.3.0, we have improved this. This talk will show some examples, as well as discuss the new API, the limitations, and future plans. The main...
This presentation will review the latest developments in the Taurus projects (taurus and taurus_pyqtgraph), focusing on the recent 5.3 and 5.4 releases.
The talk will cover the completion of the main Taurus Performance Optimization (TPO) roadmap, including the integration of Tango asynchronous event subscription modes and improvements in polling fallback handling and GUI startup...
Proposal to redefine code generation for device servers in Tango.
We will present the latest developments in the TangoDatabase.
Starter is the Tango device server that supervises every other Tango device server running on a host — the backend behind Astor. This short talk presents three lines of modernization work and one experimental side project.

The SOLEIL synchrotron has been operating a TANGO-based archiving system continuously since 2006. This system is a critical component of the control infrastructure and is composed of two complementary services:
- A historical archiving service (HDB/TDB) designed for the long-term storage of continuous time-series data from TANGO attributes
- A snapshot archiving service dedicated to the...
Archiving Sardana elements (like Motors and PseudoMotors) is important for full operational context. Data from devices that participate in a scan is stored in the scan files, but other components of a setup are only updated when explicitly read. For example, motors which are used for optics alignment, can drift over time because of fluctuations of environmental parameters like temperature and...
A zoom in on the state of the SKA-Low Tango deployment and some of the issues we're working through as we scale up.
