Brazilian Synchrotron Light Laboratory (LNLS) is upgrading its in-house, custom beam line control system with off-the-shelf hardware while maintaining backward compatibility using the Linux OS with Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) as the control standard. Using the NI Real-Time Hypervisor virtualization system to make PXI-based modular instruments available to EPICS, researchers run EPICS/Linux and LabVIEW Real-Time OSs simultaneously in the same PXI controller. At this session, examine how to control an X-ray absorption spectroscopy beam line and reduce software development time for integrating new hardware.
