Detector Control System The MPD DCS should provide control and coherent operation of NICA infrastructure and all MPD subsystems

Technical requirements for subsystems: For IT: For TOF and TPC: HV power supply system for HV power supply system ● ● silicon detectors LV power supply system ● LV power supplies for powering Gas mixing system ● ● of digital and analogue FE control ● electronics Cooling system to provide ● silicon detector stable working temperature FE temperature monitoring ● system FE control ●

Aim of our project Testing systems based on NI devices supported with dedicated LabView software that could be used in DCS: ● NI Elvis II+ ● NI myDAQ ● NI myRIO

Why these devices ? Provide powerful and portable measurement, control of DCS parameters and can be use as stand-alone part of this system (especially myRIO with real time control).

NI software support There are several embaded instruments in LabView to make NI devices even more versatile e.g. Oscilloscope, Function Generator, Digital Multimeter/Reader/Writer, Impedance Analyser, Two and Three-Wire Current- Voltage Analyser and more...

NI Elvis II+ - Daniel Dąbrowski

NI myDAQ – Jacek Sikorski

NI myDAQ specification ● 2 differential or 1 stereo audio I/O 3.5 mm jack ● 8 Digital I/O ● General Purpose Counter/Timer ● Embaded Digital Multimeter ended with banana jacks ● 2 analog channels ● 15V, -15V and 5V power supplies

NI myRIO – Krystian Rosłon

Work ● Testing of this devices required creating interfaces to control them properly ● We made general purpose programs to control most options of these devices

Conclusions ● NI Devices can be irreplaceable in area of testing and prototyping ● NI myRIO provides real time control – faster detectors control with no computer needed ● Testing of these devices confirm that its specification fulfill most of requirements set by SC system
