Prototype Galil Controller HCD Implementation

This project implements an HCD (Hardware Control Daemon) that talks to a Galil controller using the TMT Common Software (CSW) APIs. An example device might be the DMC-50040(DIN, ISCNTL)-C023-I000-D4020.

Subprojects

• galil-assembly - an assembly that talks to the Galil HCD
• galil-client - client applications that talk to the Galil assembly or HCD
• galil-hcd - an HCD that talks to the Galil hardware
• galil-io - library implementing the communication with the Galil hardware
• galil-repl - a command line client for a Galil device where you can enter Galil commands and see the responses
• galil-simulator - implements a simulator for a Galil device (Only a small subset of Galil commands are simulated)

Build Instructions

The build is based on sbt and depends on libraries generated from the csw project.

See here for instructions on installing sbt.

Note: The version of CSW used by this project is declared in project/build.properties.

Run:

sbt stage

to compile everything and create the start scripts for the components. After this command, you can find the start scripts in ./target/universal/stage/bin.

Prerequisites for running Components

The CSW services need to be running before starting the components. See here for how to install csw-services using coursier (cs).

• Run csw-services start -e command to start the CSW services: i.e. Location, Event Service.

See csw-services for more information.

Alternatively, you can run scripts/csw-services.sh start -e, which uses coursier to run the version of csw-services declared by this project in project/build.properties.

Running the galil-prototype applications

To run the Galil HCD using an actual Galil device, run the galil-hcd command with the options:

galil-hcd --local galil-hcd/src/main/resources/GalilHcd.conf -Dgalil.host=myhost -Dgalil.port=23

An example GalilHcd.conf file can be found here. If --local is not given, the file would be fetched from the Config Service, if available.

To run using a Galil simulator, run these commands in separate terminal windows:

galil-simulator
galil-hcd --local galil-hcd/src/main/resources/GalilHcd.conf

The above two applications must be run to run the tests.

Loading the galil-prototype project in IntelliJ Idea

To load the project in IntelliJ Idea, select New => Project from Existing Sources... from the File menu and then select this directory.

Running or Debugging the Galil HCD from IntelliJ Idea

To run or debug the Galil HCD from IntelliJ Idea, go to the GalilHcdApp class and select Run GalilHcdApp. Note that this assumes that the location service and config service are running as described above.
