Sardana control application

Yesterday, one of the gurus of Tango and project leader of Sardana presents an internal seminar for the control system section in Alba:




One of the images that I like more to represent the meaning of this Sardana package is one:




In the upper layer we have the area of the presentation layer, where we develop taurus. Is the screens with the user interacts. How you manage the coordination of the movements together with the acquisition in not the business of the final user. Even more, they don't case about how you did it, they only want the thing running with reliability.


Also there is the possibility for the user to have a user interface based in a command line screen, and for this there is spock (is an ipython console with the philosophy of spec):




But furthermore than a console usage of a beamline, the GeneralBeamlineGui is the best example of the use of taurus, together with Sardana to have a full control of a beamline to do the experiements. With a layout of the beamline the user can click on the elements to know the details of each instrument in the beamline.
