At the free-electron laser FLASH@DESY we use MTCA based devices for several different tasks in the photon diagnostics and for user experiments. In particular ADCs are our main work horse to record information about investigated interactions. Several experimental techniques using ADCs as well as their requirements and limits will be presented. In addition, examples of data recording and...
I will give a short overview of the plans for PETRA IV upgrade and
I will present some MTCA applications, which are currently being tested and
developed at the P24 beamline, and which might be relevant for PETRA IV
A number of MTCA-based diagnostics are being implemented at the moment for the upcoming operation phase in 2022. This concerns a divertor protection system with more than 20 individual cameras in different standards (CameraLink & CameraLink HS) as well as spectrometer diagnostics with 20 legacy IEEE1394-based cameras and a 100+ channel bolometer with custom build analog RTM DAQ boards.

In different application in industry as well research Centre, there is the need to synchronize different EtherCAT networks with high time accuracy. The more precise the time stamp requirements become, the more difficult this task becomes with classical solutions.
By means of a newly developed AMC board, the time signals can be synchronously fed into and read from up to 8 independent EtherCAT...
ChimeraTK is a software framework for the development of control applications. Recently, version 02.00 of ChimeraTK's DeviceAccess, ApplicationCore and ControlSystemAdapter libraries have been released. They feature a new exception reporting and handling scheme, which has been introduced to work consistently across all libraries of the framework. It implements automatic recovery from device...
