| Abstract: |
The CIWS-FW is aimed at providing a common and standard solution for the
storage, processing and quick look at the data acquired from scientific
instruments for astrophysics. The target system is the instrument
workstation either in the context of the Electrical Ground Support
Equipment for space-borne experiments, or in the context of the data
acquisition system for instrumentation. The CIWS-FW core includes
software developed by team members for previous experiments and provides
new components and tools that improve the software reusability,
configurability and extensibility attributes. The CIWS-FW mainly
consists of two packages: the data processing system and the data access
system. Both make use of a data definition language to model the
data. The former provides the software components and libraries to
support the data acquisition, transformation, display and storage in
near real time of either a data packet stream and/or a sequence of data
files generated by the instrument. The latter is a meta-data and data
management system, providing a reusable solution for the archiving and
retrieval of the acquired data. A built-in operator GUI allows to
control and configure the IW. In addition, the framework provides
mechanisms for system error and logging handling. A web portal provides
the access to the CIWS-FW documentation, software repository and bug
tracking tools for CIWS-FW developers. We will describe the CIWS-FW
architecture and summarize the project status. |
