Setup of a Simulated EPICS /Phoebus Systems with Alarms for the Mu2e Cosmic Ray Veto

ORAL

Abstract

The Cosmic Ray Veto System (CRV) for the Mu2e Experiment is well under construction. A set of software to simulate the electronics of the CRV readout and controls has been setup at the University of South Alabama. This software set, which includes the programs EPICS, ZooKeeper and Kafka is needed to define variables and alarm conditions for the program Phoebus. This program, Phoebus, is the graphical user interface (GUI) that expert shifters will use to monitor and control the CRV. The advantage of setting up the user GUI before electronics installation is that the layout can be studied by the CRV group and revised into an optimal display. More process variables that are related to the CRV can be added upon request. Eventually, this upper-level shifter GUI will be interfaced with the actual Input/Output Control that will be installed with the electronics. This talk will summarize the implementation of this local system.
