The Ground Test Accelerator control system database: Configuration, run-time operation, and access

Creators

Description

A database is used to implement the interface between the control system and the accelerator and to provide flexibility in configuring the I/O. This flexibility is necessary to allow the control system to keep pace with the changing requirements that are inherent in an experimental environmental environment. This is not achieved without cost. Problems often associated with using databases are painful data entry, poor performance, and embedded knowledge of the database structure in code throughout the control system. This report describes how the database configuration, access, conversion, and execution in the Ground Test Accelerator (GTA) Control System overcome these problems. 2 figs
