The TANGO (http://tango-controls/org) collaboration continues to evolve and improve the TANGO kernel. A latest release has made major improvements to the protocol and, the language support in Java. The replacement of the CORBA Notificaton service with ZMQ for sending events has allowed a much higher performance, a simplification of the architecture and support for multicasting to be achieved. A rewrite of the Java device server binding using the latest features of the Java language has made the code much more compact and modern. Guidelines for writing device servers have been produced so they can be more easily shared. The test suite for testing the TANGO kernel has been re-written and the code coverage drastically improved. TANGO has been ported to new embedded platforms running Linux and mobile platforms running Android and iOS. Packaging for Debian and bindings to commercial tools have been updated and a new one (Panorama) added. The graphical layers have been extended. The latest figures on TANGO performance will be presented. Finally the paper will present the roadmap for the next major release.

The instrumentation of large physics experiments needs to be synchronized down to few picoseconds. These experiments require different sampling rates for multi shot or single shot on each instrument distributed on a large area. Greenfield Technology presents a commercial solution with a Picoseconds Timing System built around a central Master Oscillator which delivers a serial data stream over an optical network to synchronize local multi channel delay generators. This system is able to provide several hundreds of trigger pulses within a 1ps resolution and a jitter less than 15 ps distributed over an area up to 10 000 m². The various qualities of this Picoseconds Timing System are presented with measurements and functions and have already been implemented in French facilities (Laser MegaJoule prototype - Ligne d’Intégration Laser- , petawatt laser applications and synchrotron Soleil). This system with different local delay generator form factors (box, 19” rack, cPCI or PXI board) and many possibilities of trigger pulse shape is the ideal solution to synchronize Synchrotron, High Energy Laser or any Big Physics Experiments.
