  Science Studio is a web portal, and framework, that provides scientists with a platform to collaborate in distributed teams on research projects, and to remotely access the resources of research facilities located across Canada. The primary application for Science Studio is to provide scientists with remote access to the VESPERS beamline at the Canadian Light Source synchrotron in Saskatoon Saskatchewan, and to readily process data from this beamline at the SHARCNET high performance computing facility in London Ontario. The VESPERS beamline is a complex instrument that is composed of many devices, such as valves, motors and detectors, which are all controlled through the low-level EPICS control system. Science Studio implements a simple, intuitive and functional web-based interface to the beamline for device control and data acquisition. The Science Studio experiment management system allows the acquired data to be easily organized and shared with the research team. This paper will provide an overview of the design, implementation and capabilities of the Science Studio system, with a focus on remote control of the VESPERS beamline.

THPL006 Mechanical Vibration Measurement System at the Canadian Light Source 133

  In recent decades, synchrotron radiation has developed into an invaluable scientific tool around the world. At synchrotron radiation facilities, the mechanical vibrations in the optics hutch and experimental hutch, especially in the vertical direction, enlarges the beam size and changes intensity of the monochromatic X-ray beam. To investigate mechanical vibrations at the CLS, a vibration measurement system was developed. The system includes a Vector Signal Analyzer (VSA) and accelerometers. The sensitivity of the accelerometer is 1.02 v/(m/s2). The frequency range of the accelerometer is 0.1 Hz to 300 Hz. The frequency resolution of the accelerometer is better than 0.1 Hz. The vibrations at four beamlines and endstations at the CLS, i.e. the Canadian Macromolecular Crystallography Facility (CMCF) 08ID-1 beamline, the Hard X-ray MicroAnalysis (HXMA) 06ID-1 beamline, the Resonant Elastic and Inelastic Soft X-ray Scattering (REIXS) 10ID-2 beamline, and the Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscope (STXM) endstation at the Spectromicroscopy (SM) 10ID-1 beamline, are investigated.

  Science Studio is a web portal, and framework, that provides scientists with a platform to collaborate in distributed teams on research projects, and to remotely access the resources of research facilities located across Canada. The Western Nanofabrication Facility is located at the University of Western Ontario and houses a variety of instruments for lithography, deposition and characterization. One of these instruments is an Oxford Instruments X-Ray System fitted to a Scanning Electron Microscope. This x-ray system has been integrated into Science Studio. This allows users to remotely access the system and upload data into the experiment management system. Remote control of the instrument is provided using a remote desktop, so users have access to the full capabilities of the instrument. Through Science Studio, access control and session management are also provided for this instrument.

  The Canadian Light Source (CLS) has upgraded the safety system for its Linear Accelerator (Linac) in October 2009. IEC 61508 SIL 3 certified components and methods were adopted in the development of the new safety system. This paper describes the new safety system and outlines the lessons learned from the project in applying industrial safety rated PLC equipment in the development of safety system for CLS accelerator.
