Designing an instrument for scientific application for neutron scattering is a challenge, since every intrument must be more or less unique around the world to attract the scientists.
This uniqueness leads often to a "unique" instrument control.
The talk will show ways how to control these unique instruments with standard components.
The good selection of hardware and software for the...
The neutron scattering instruments of the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science JCNS with all
substations are continuously developed and improved. A key role is taken by motion control
solutions that are tuned to specific requirements of science or developed as a standard for
cross-instrumental tasks. Alongside with the mechanics, the electric motor with its different
characteristics as an...
The Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS) at Forschungszentrum Jülich developed more than 10 neutron instruments during the last decade, which are operated at the JCNS outstations in Garching (MLZ), Grenoble (ILL) and Oak Ridge (SNS). In order to reduce development and maintenance efforts a completely standardized approach for the implementation of the control and data acquisition systems...
