Abstract

This paper describes a method for automating the facility and a method for online data processing that allows an operator and analytical physicists to quickly process information during an experiment without the need for the manual postprocessing of data. The architecture of the automation system was proposed and software was developed for (1) an analysis of signals at the installation with the ability to filter according to user-defined conditions and the ability to display on real-time graphs and (2) displaying the values of various diagnostics with general real-time availability.
