SCC (Slow Control Center)

The SCC is aimed at receiving SlowControl-raw-events from every SlowControl machine via UDP socket and encode them into a unique socket string (adding a common header), which will be sent to DAQ and stored in raw data.

• Slow-Raw-Event (from every detector) reception and visualisation (completed: May 2006)

• Global-Slow-Raw-Event to DAQ (not used)

• Complete GUI for browsing raw-information (completed: November 2006)

• Global-Slow-Raw-Event storage (local raw-files) (completed: January 2007)

• Complete data-browsing for ISIM/OSIM bias-currents (local text-files) (completed: September 2007)
