Instrument Control With TACO at the FRM-II
Abstract
With the start up of the new German Neutron Source FRM-II in Garching, a common instrument control system has to be installed at the different neutron scattering instruments. With respect to the large variety of instruments, a modular system was required. In spite of starting from scratch, a well developed and tested system was needed, in order to meet the restricted man power and short time scale to realise the project. We decided to adopt the TACO system from the ESRF in Grenoble. The main arguments were the network transparent communication of modules, the proven reliability and the support by the developer team at the ESRF.
