  • Introduction to Device Access Rights handling (user rights levels, property criticality levels, basic mechanism).

  • Application Program Interfaces in C++
    • Device: Classes for client side access to accelerator devices.
    • AccData: The container class used to transport data between clients and devices.
    • Device Factory: Class to obtain references to remote device objects.
    • Alarm and Alarm Handler: Classes to create, send, receive, and filter alarms.
    • Subscription Service: Classes to read consistent data from different devices or properties when using event connections.
    • Periodical Service: Classes to read data from different devices or properties when using periodical connections.
    • Message: A class to display messages in a line of alphanumeric codes.

  • Application Program Interfaces in Java
    • Device Access: Classes for client side access to accelerator devices including AccData.
    • JAPC: Java API for Parameter Control. A more abstract way to access accelerator devices.

    • Alarm and Alarm Handler: Classes to create, send, receive, and filter alarms.

  • Common Interfaces
    • OS: Operating system independent Windows and Linux functions.

  • Internally Used Modules
    • NSrvClient: Library to be used by device factory clients.
