Control Systems: Overview The C ontrol S ystem group of the division E xperiment E lectronic (EE) at GSI-Darmstadt provides support for experiment control and automation systems. The functionality of [...] experiment control systems at GSI has to cover the wide range from distributed SCADA down to remote DSP/FPGA programming. They must be very flexible and configurable at runtime. Because of very advanced [...] distributed development of subsystems in international collaborations and limited resources control systems have to deal with heterogenous environments.
