Summary0000072: Top-level Experiment Control System supervisor and GUI
DescriptionDesign a top-level Experiment Control System (ECS) supervisor that will supervise CODA run control as well as many other lower-level controls components/supervisors (monitoring/L3 farm, trigger system, HV, LV, etc). Design includes the ECS state machine and its associated operator GUI. Develop prototype and test in a realistic DAQ and controls environment. Deliver report that summarizes results and includes an outline of steps needed to create and commission a production version with estimates of required time and manpower.




Steps To Reproduce
Additional InformationAFECS is expected to be the top level layer for configuring and running the Hall D experiment. In this task we need to design an interface between AFECS and Hall D slow controls system (once it is defined), and create some prototypes. We will need to:
* Determine what needs to be communicated between Hall D slow controls system and other AFECS components , like Run Control, Alarms, Monitoring.
* Define how control system interacts with AFECS
* Design slow controls object(s) to communicate with AFECS
* Design an interface between AFECS and Hall D controls screen management system.

Since Hall D controls will use the CSS package to develop operator gui's, it makes sense to use CSS for the ECS gui as well. CSS is composed of Eclipse plugins that can communicate via Channel Access. It is not clear how difficult it is to extend the CSS base classes to communicate via cMsg, required for the gui to talk to AFECS supervisor components. Vardan is looking into this.

Not sure who will work on this.
