A - UML/Doxygen documentation Progress:

1. Development of the sequence diagram of the device driver module.
2. Development of the class diagram of the device driver module.
3. Development of the file dependency diagram of the device driver module.
4. Implementation of doxygen-style code documentation for the device driver source-code files compliant with ITER specification.

 
B - Progress on the production of “processed” signals and related EPICS PVs:

1. Implementation of all PVs in the SDD tool with alarm limits, thresholds and hysteresis and smooth fields.
2. Add new configuration PVs related with ATCA-IO-PROCESSOR and ATCA-PTSW-AMC4 boards and new sensors of the Shelf Manager - IPMC interface.
3. Test of the EPICS device support to shelf manager communication via http protocol to get, via IPMC, the temperature sensors data.

 
C - Device Drivers Progress:

1. Device driver adding features to support up to 48 acquisition channels for the ATCA-IO-PROCESSOR boards. Only for 2 were implemented.
2. Study and development of the new device driver for the ATCA-PTSW-AMC4 board. To aim this objective it was created a virtual device driver to emulate the hardware and to test the EPICS device support module and CSS tools (BEAUTY, BEAST and OPI).

February 2012

  1. Software Engineering and Design document implementation of sections 4.1 and 4.2.

  2. ATCA-IO-PROCESSOR device driver study and related UML software diagrams development for future software features implementation.

  3. ATCA-PTSW-AMC4 device driver study and related UML software diagrams development for future software features implementation.

  4. Overall System PV naming convention revision compliant with ITER requirements as described in "Signal and Plant System I&C Variable Naming Convention (IDM UID: 2UT8SH).pdf".
