A new control system for ISOLTRAP

A new LabVIEW-based control system for the ISOLTRAP facility at ISOLDE/CERN has been implemented by using the Control System (CS) framework which has been developed by DVEE/GSI during the last two years. CS is an object-oriented, multi-threaded, event-driven framework with Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) functionality. It allows one to implement distributed control systems by adding experiment specific add-ons. This paper gives an overview on the CS framework, describes the requirements for ISOLTRAP and reports on the implementation of the new control system.
