This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing theresources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject andinvestigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.This project is focused on the conversion of SSRL?s Instrument Control software (ICS) to become Operating System independent, and to migrate the SSRL Data Acquisition Software (XAS-Collect and other programs) to new platforms. The new software will run on the OpenVMS, Linux (UNIX) and Microsoft Windows (XP and 2000) operating systems. The software provides backward compatibility and a computer system has been procured to run the legacy software until such a time as other XAS beam lines have been converted. XAS utility software, such as the GePlus software for control of detectors and routines for optimization of beam lines and electronics (captured under XASUTILS) have been converted for use with Microsoft Windows. A dedicated beam line network is also included in the project scope. Specifically, a dedicated firewall has been implemented using Virtual Local Area Networks, or VLANs. Other developments include continuous scanning for imaging and x-ray emission experiments.
