	Forschungszentrum Jülich operated the SAXS instrument JUSIFA at DESY in Hamburg for more than twenty years. With the shutdown of the DORIS ring JUSIFA was relocated to Jülich. Based on most JUSIFA components (with major mechanical modifications) and a MetalJet high performance X-Ray source from Bruker AXS the new GISAXS instrument GALAXI was built by JCNS (Jülich Centre for Neutron Science). GALAXI was equipped with new electronics and a completely new control and data acquisition system by ZEA-2 (Zentralinstitut für Engineering, Elektronik und Analytik 2 – Systeme der Elektronik, formely ZEL). On the base of good experience with the TACO control system, ZEA-2 decided that GALAXI should be the first instrument of Forschungszentrum Jülich with the successor system TANGO.

"PyFRID" is a high-level Python framework for instrument control. It provides a high level of abstraction, particularly by use of aspect oriented (AOP) techniques. Users can use a builtin command language or a web interface to control and monitor motors, sensors, detectors and other instrument components. The framework has been fully adopted at two instruments, and work is in progress to use it on more.
