GUI and DAQare two different programs running on
different computers

New object Instrument Manager (IM)
Some advantages- Security. All components of
NARVAL can be hidden behind some firewall. The
only contact can be just IM.
- Many GUIs can talk with one IM. They can be
registered by username and password.
7
New object Instrument Manager (IM)Some
disadvantages
- One more level of complication.
- GUI can not talk directly to NARVAL components
8
Does it complicate the modelling idea?

Narval (real or fake)
Modelling the reality
We can easily reconstruct the structure (and
display it as a diagram)
9
It was never directly anyway

anyway - it is only one pipe

First tests of GUI ? Instrument Manager
successfully passed
December 2006 Padova-Legnaro
It works!
Lucky the wsdl files given to me by Francesco
are fully compatibile with my gSOAP standard
12
Flexibility of IM has its cost
IM does not want to care about the number of the
parameters given by some actor and or about the
meaning of them
By this any new parameters introduced by XAVIER
will not demand any change of IM.
However, the GUI must care about this - to
produce the logical and convincing GUI

Modes of Interaction

Even the basic version will be useful!

• Virtual Control Room made by Trieste group.
• It is the object which will supply
• log-booking,
• chatting,
• video conferencing, (between many GUI users)

• The Trieste team still work on is, but - in my
  opinion - no panic.
• Even if it will not be done on time - the Agata
  Demonstrator can work without it.

Status of GUI
Bottleneck is the communication, so I wait
impatiently

WSDL description of the services provided by
a particular type of actor

GUI Client procedures to talk to the particular
type of actor
Imitation of the service provided by the
particular actor
Program which is kind of Narval imitation
