Adopting the recommendations for the control room obtained by a user-centered design approach for the Square Kilometer Array (SKA), the following characteristics for the SKA Graphical User Interface (GUI) have been identified: scalability, integrated tools, extendability and completeness. The lack of one or more of these characteristics could lead to usability problems like low user’s efficiency, high error rate, high user’s mental load and user’s frustration. In this paper one of the most recent web technologies that enable the user-centered design are analyzed. TangoWebApp, a pluggable web platform integrated with TANGO Control REST API, appears very suitable also taking into account the adoption of TANGO as the SKA control framework. Starting from a SKA Telescope Manager (TM) Services use case, a prototype has been developed composed by a series of TANGO WebApp plugins that allow the operator to correctly and efficiently complete the tasks of the scenario. Some of the plugins, in particular, have been developed to extend the functionalities of the TANGO WebApp itself to make it fully compliant with the User Centered Design. As a result of this work, the TangoWebapp proved itself not only fully compliant with the User Centered Design, but also flexible enough to add functionalities in the form of properly developed plugins. These characteristics of the TangoWebapp, together with its unique feature to be integrated into TANGO, make it a good candidate to be the SKA GUI platform.
The extensive progress in hardware in recent years makes it now possible to develop nearly real time control system for tomography experiments. Such system can perform all the routines that are necessary for the experiment and provide real time feedback to the user. This feedback can be used for instant monitoring and/or for real time reconstruction. The initial design and implementation of such system was presented in the SPIE publication in 2014 [1]. In this paper an update to the system is presented. The paper will cover the following 4 topics. The first topic simply gives an overview of the system. The second topic presents the way how we integrate different software components to achieve simplicity and flexibility. As it is still in research and design phase we need a possibility to easily adjust the system to our needs introducing new components or removing old ones. The third topic presents a hardware driven tomography experiment design implemented at one of our beamlines. The basic idea is that a hardware signal is sent to the instrument hardware (camera, shutter etc). This signal is emitted by the controller of the sample axis which defines the moment when the system is ready to capture the next image i.e. next rotation angle. Finally as our software is in a constant process of evaluation a continuous integration process was implemented to reduce the time cost of redeployment and configuration of new versions.
In this article we present the quantitative characterization of CCD and CMOS sensors which are used at the experiments
for microtomography operated by HZG at PETRA III at DESY in Hamburg, Germany. A standard commercial CCD
camera is compared to a camera based on a CMOS sensor. This CMOS camera is modified for grating-based differential
phase-contrast tomography.
The main goal of the project is to quantify and to optimize the statistical parameters of this camera system. These key
performance parameters such as readout noise, conversion gain and full-well capacity are used to define an optimized
measurement for grating-based phase-contrast. First results will be shown.

A new control system for high-throughput experiments (X-Ray, Neutrons) is introduced in this article. The system
consists of several software components which are required to make optimized use of the beamtime and to fulfill the
demand to implement the new standardized data format established within the Helmholtz Association in Germany. The
main components are: PreExperiment Data Collector; Status server; Data Format Server. Especially for tomography a
concept for an online reconstruction based on GPU computing is presented. One of the main goals of the system is to
collect data that extends standard experimental data, e.g. instrument’s hardware state, preinvestigation data, experiment
description data etc. The collected data is stored together with the experiment data in the permanent storage of the user.
The stored data is then used for post processing and analysis of the experiment.
