Beast Alarm under CSS

Control System Studio (CSS) is an Eclipse-based collections of tools to operate large scale control systems. It was started at DESY, and it is now actively extended in the collaboration including SNS/ORNL and other international institutes.

Several different solutions have been employed in the past for operator interfaces in KEK. Some part of MEDM-based static displays can be replaced by CSS. Several other tools like data browsers, an alarm handler etc. may be replaced as well. Some other Python-based scripting programs may be replaced while Java language should be employed.

The Rich Client Platform (RCP) provided by Eclipse enables unified development and operation environment based on a common look-and-feel and shared control service libraries.
