How to integrate all these software developments in a control system :You can support 24h/24 during the « on

call duties »Which can still evolveWhich follows the « fast moving

computing world »• New OS, compilers, etc ..

What are the guidelines we followed ?

• Unitary GUI components– Help standardize the look and feel of the applications– Implements the core of “any” Tango Java client

The high level applications layer : ATK

Our Vision : “To give Machine and Beamline groups the

possibility to build their own GUI applications” “To keep a coherent look & feel for applications”

• Provide the same way of working with software applications from one beamline to another

The GlobalScreen industrial supervision software Has been selected for Machine and Beamlines GUI

development But is only used on the presentation layer

Technical facts GlobalScreen is based on java It allows integration of existing java widgets by drag and

drop
