  To shorten the de­vel­op­ment time of su­per­vi­sion ap­pli­ca­tions, CERN has de­vel­oped the UNI­COS frame­work, which sim­pli­fies the con­fig­u­ra­tion of the front-end de­vices and the su­per­vi­sion (SCADA) layer. At CERN the SCADA sys­tem of choice is WinCC OA, but for spe­cific pro­jects (small size, not con­nected to ac­cel­er­a­tor op­er­a­tion or not lo­cated at CERN) a more cus­tomis­able SCADA using Lab­VIEW is an at­trac­tive al­ter­na­tive. There­fore a sim­i­lar sys­tem, called UNI­COS in Lab­VIEW (UiL), has been im­ple­mented. It pro­vides a set of highly cus­tomis­able re-us­able com­po­nents, de­vices and util­i­ties. Be­cause Lab­VIEW uses dif­fer­ent pro­gram­ming meth­ods than WinCC OA, the tools for au­to­matic in­stan­ti­a­tion of de­vices on both the front-end and su­per­vi­sion layer had to be re-de­vel­oped, but the con­fig­u­ra­tion files of the de­vices and the SCADA can be reused. This paper re­ports how the im­ple­men­ta­tion was done, it de­scribes the first pro­ject im­ple­mented in UiL and an out­look to other pos­si­ble ap­pli­ca­tions.

  Given the time crit­i­cal ap­pli­ca­tions, the use of PXI and cRIO plat­forms in the ac­cel­er­a­tor com­plex at CERN, re­quire the in­te­gra­tion into the CERN tim­ing sys­tem. In this paper the pre­sent state of in­te­gra­tion of both PXI and cRIO plat­forms in the pre­sent Gen­eral Ma­chine Tim­ing sys­tem and the White Rab­bit Tim­ing sys­tem, which is its suc­ces­sor, is de­scribed. PXI is used for LHC col­li­ma­tor con­trol and for the new gen­er­a­tion of con­trol sys­tems for the kicker mag­nets on all CERN ac­cel­er­a­tors. The cRIO plat­form is being in­tro­duced for tran­sient record­ing on the CERN elec­tric­ity dis­tri­b­u­tion sys­tem and has po­ten­tial for ap­pli­ca­tions in other do­mains, be­cause of its real-time OS, FPGA back­bone and hot swap mod­ules. The fur­ther de­vel­op­ment in­tended and what type of ap­pli­ca­tions are most suit­able for each plat­form, will be dis­cussed.
