ABS and beam instrumentation

ABS and beam instrumentation

• What can be done better ?

2
The ABS developer

•  Beam measurement is the weak point for my
  wonderful system 

3
Instrumentalist

•  My beam measurement system is the best in the
  world, use it efficiently 

4
The goal of the discussion

• Can something be done, and what, for a better use
  of existing beam measurement devices by ABS
  software ?

5
What can be fruitful

• Provided by the instrument
• static configuration description
• from the instrument or from a data base
• dynamic information
• measurement conditions and instrument status
• qualitative qualifiers
• good quality
• noisy data
• abnormal, out of range
• quantitative qualifiers
• data error bar

6
What can be fruitful (2)

• Data filtering
• done by the instrument ?
• done by the ABS application ?
• What else ?

7
What can be fruitful (3)

• User (ABS program or operator) profile and
  preferences
• looking for
• speed fast refresh time to the end user
• accuracy the best noise filtering
• data capture for history off line analysis
• .

8
What to do ?

• Which classes of ABS applications can benefit
  from improved instruments
• How to do it ?
• Wish list from the ABS developers
• Check list for instrument software developers
• Publish recommendations
• Standard minimum requirements
• Select, publish, develop public domain software
  components for developers
