SIMPLIFIED INSTRUMENT/APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT AND SYSTEM INTEGRATION USING LIBERA BASE SOFTWARE FRAMEWORK
Matej Kenda · 2011
Development of many appliances used in scientific environment forces us to face similar challenges, often executed repeatedly. One has to design or integrate hardware components. Support for network and other communications standards needs to be established. Data and signals are processed and dispatched. Interfaces are required to monitor and control the behaviour of the appliances. At Instrumentation Technologies we identified and addressed these issues by creating Libera BASE, which is a framework composed of several reusable building blocks. Libera BASE simplifies some of the tedious tasks and leaves more time to concentrate on real issues of the application. Further more, the end product quality benefits from larger common base of this framework. We present the benefits on examples of instrument implemented on MTCA platform accessible over graphical user interface.
