Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System
We do something similar here. Matlab in the Accelerator physicists sandbox (They now have several IOC's). Because of the Matlab accelerator toolbox
work, this works well for us too.
We had the idea that once they had finished an application in Matlab, they would pass it over to controls to make robust. This doesn't happen so well - the concept of "finish" seems problematical .

At SLAC, the LCLS physicists asked for a soft IOC to write physics parameters via their Matlab scripts. This has been wildly successful.

Learned Friends,
Accelerators and beamlines have associated with them some properties of the accelerated particles.
For example, a beamline will usually have a parameter for magnetic and/or electrostatic rigidity, but it might also have beam variables associated with it, such as the charge-to-mass ratio, or the precise mass of a heavy ion.
My question is this: To what extent are the physics parameters part of the controls?
Should there be channels like "Separator:BeamMass," for example?
My feeling is that the beam, as it were, should be part of the control system from the beginning, but I don't have much to back this up.
What do you think?
Cheers,
-Mathias
