Abstract
The CIWS-FW is aimed at providing a common and standard solution for the
storage, processing and quick look at the data acquired from scientific
instruments for astrophysics. The target system is the instrument workstation
either in the context of the Electrical Ground Support Equipment for
space-borne experiments, or in the context of the data acquisition system for
instrumentation. The CIWS-FW core includes software developed by team members
for previous experiments and provides new components and tools that improve the
software reusability, configurability and extensibility attributes. The CIWS-FW
mainly consists of two packages: the data processing system and the data access
system. The former provides the software components and libraries to support
the data acquisition, transformation, display and storage in near real time of
either a data packet stream and/or a sequence of data files generated by the
instrument. The latter is a meta-data and data management system, providing a
reusable solution for the archiving and retrieval of the acquired data. A
built-in operator GUI allows to control and configure the IW. In addition, the
framework provides mechanisms for system error and logging handling. A web
portal provides the access to the CIWS-FW documentation, software repository
and bug tracking tools for CIWS-FW developers. We will describe the CIWS-FW
architecture and summarize the project status.
