ESRF research programs, along with the foreseen accelerator sources upgrade, require state-of-the-art instrumentation devices with high data flow acquisition systems. This paper presents RASHPA, a data acquisition framework targeting 2D XRay detectors. By combining a highly configurable multi link PCI Express over cable based data transmission engine and a carefully designed LINUX software stack, RASHPA aims at reaching the performances required by current and future detectors.

Synchrotron radiation facilities and in particular large hard X-ray sources such as the ESRF are equipped with thousands of motorized position actuators. Combining all the functional needs found in those facilities with the implications related to personnel resources, expertise and cost makes the choice of motor controllers a strategic matter. Most of the large facilities adopt strategies based on the use of off-the-shelf devices packaged using standard interfaces. As this approach implies severe compromises, the ESRF decided to address the development of IcePAP, a motor controller designed for applications in a scientific environment. It optimizes functionality, performance, ease of deployment, level of standardization and cost. This device is adopted as standard and is widely used at the beamlines and accelerators of ESRF and ALBA. This paper provides details on the architecture and technical characteristics of IcePAP as well as examples on how it implements advanced features. It also presents ongoing and foreseen improvements as well as introduces the outline of an emerging collaboration aimed at further development of the system making it available to other research labs.
