1st ESS OpenXAL Workshop

3 Mar 2014, 08:00 → 7 Mar 2014, 16:00 Europe/Stockholm

Linneasalen (ESS (Lund))

OpenXAL is the software framework that will be used to develop physics applications for commissioning and operation. This framework provides an online physics simulator of the accelerator, access to EPICS and tools to develop graphical user applications, as well as scripting languages. This workshop will be a forum where discuss future and current developments on OpenXAL, and collaboration. During this workshop Chris Allen (SNS) will give some hands-on tutorials on OpenXAL.
