The Control Software Framework of the Web Base

Abstract

Web browsers are one of the most platform-independent user interfaces. In particular, web pages created using responsive web design (RWD) are available for use on desktop and laptop computers, as well as tablet terminals and smart phones. We developed a common software framework, IROHA, for the instrument control system in the Materials and Life Science Experimental Facility at the Japan Proton Accelerator Research Complex to build a flexible and scalable system by adopting XML/HTTP. However, its user interface was platform-dependent, and we wanted it to be more user-friendly. In 2013, we developed the prototype of a new software framework, IROHA2, comprising several device control servers and an instrument management server, retaining the flexibility and scalability of IROHA. We also adopted the Bootstrap framework to create an RWD user interface for these servers.

Comparative Study of Ancient and Modern Japanese Swords using Neutron Tomography

“…This aluminum cylinder was covered with boron rubber sheets to avoid activation of the sample outside the neutron irradiation area. As for neutron tomography measurements, both the camera-type detector and the rotary stage can be controlled simultaneously using the device control software framework IROHA2 of J-PARC MLF [9]. J-PARC consists of the multi-purpose facilities, and neutron intensity changes during data acquisition due to accelerator trips, proton beam sharing and so on.…”

Development of Event-Type Neutron Imaging Detectors at the Energy-Resolved Neutron Imaging System RADEN at J-PARC

“…Integration into the RADEN Control System. RADEN features an experiment device control system based on the IROHA2 software framework developed at the MLF [10]. As its most visible feature, IROHA2 provides a user-friendly web interface, making the system accessible from any device with a web browser.…”
