Research Automation and Laboratory Control
Background and Restrictions
VisCMSE is reliable easy-to-configure software application, which allows
to develop system integration laboratory control software in a matter of
days (maybe weeks for complex systems). It is based on the the neural
network architecture for the control system software and may (but not
necessary have to) follow the hardware architecture of the controlled
equipment. The hardware drivers are not included in the VisCMSE
software, but integration of the third-party drivers is well-defined
standard procedure for VisCMSE. The area of application of the software
is defined by the CPU time consumed by the hardware interfaces and
by external modeling applications; internal "overhead" of the system is
under 50ms. per object for "standard" Pentium-IV CPU.
Advantages of Using VisCMSE
There are several features that, in our opinion, make use of VisCMSE
attractive for the research applications and management of scientific
experiment. In particular:
-
VisCMSE allows to combine
monitoring of the conditions of the hardware, data collection, data
processing, and modeling within the same application
-
VisCMSE may be programmed for
reactive response to the state of the equipment, to the data values,
and also for conducting the scheduled tasks
-
VisCMSE allows FORTRAN, Java and
C++ third-party software integration
-
VisCMSE may be remotely operated
in unmanned regime 24/7, and can electronically deliver data to the
remote locations
-
VisCMSE is low cost / low
maintenance software, which may be deployed and configured without
engaging professional programmers.
-
VisCMSE provides easy-to-use GUI
that supports multiple-faceted view of the system, color-coded
hardware state representation, final state analysis, and
by-component raw, modeling, and state analysis data visualization.

Costs
Cost of the VisCMSE software depends on the number of licenses and
complexity of the controlled system, but is always very competitive; use
of VisCMSE allows to free considerable human and financial resources.
