This section outlines projects to support the requirement for control setpoint processing ("set") and read data ("get"), for online physics applications.

Control Data

1. PRJ: Completion of the "SLC Aware IOC" project, and Beam Synchronous Acquisition and Control (BSAC) in particular.
2. PRJ: Fixes to JCA, using the JNI interface. JCA through the JNI interface to CA must be fixed to be operable within Eclipse. We will not use the JCA interface through CAJ due to other errors which are probably more serious. See #Decision-JNIJCA

3. Anchor
   prj-AddXMLtoAIDA prj-AddXMLtoAIDA

   PRJ: Add XML data packaging to AIDA. This facilitates trivial structured data display, since AIDA will ahve prepackaged the data for rendering.

Textual Displays

Create a standard textual display system. This system is intended to make very trivial the process of displaying formatted, tabular, textual data on the display. Since much of the bulk data a physics GUI application will want to display will have been retrieved from some system like Oracle or AIDA, that is able to get bulk tabular data in one call, if that data were retrieved as XML, then rendering it to a display would be trivial using Cascading Style Sheets to create either tabular text, or simply xhtml. If xhtml, thne the display driver would be the web browser already in Eclipse. Writing a display would then be a matter of writting the data acquisition; the display formatting would be defined in CSS (Casscading Style Sheets).

...

Project: Create a Display Manager, for textual data, which takes XML defined data + a CSS, and renders it.
Antecendent: Add XML packaging to structured data returned by AIDA.

Notes

• Visualizing 3-d data.
