Abstract

• LabBot is an open-source framework for laboratory automation. • Might be used for development for laboratory equipment firmware, including ARM-based. • Includes built-in script languages for control & data processing (Lua, Octave). • Implements remote access API out of the box. • Integrates well with data processing toolkits like Matlab/Jupyter/etc. The LabBot Framework project is intended to implement control of experiment and data acquisition without writing special platform codes, while achieving industrial-grade results. The Framework is intended for fast and advanced development of controlling and data acquisition software for laboratory-scale experimental setups; more sophisticated software for middle-scale laboratory equipment; industrial-grade software for self-made commercial instrumentation developed by small- and middle-scale companies. The paper presents review of the Framework top-level architecture and its implementation addressing development of ITER Divertor Thomson Scattering (DTS) diagnostic. The first examples of the Framework implementation include the set-ups for vacuum heating testbench; RF cleaning of diagnostic mirrors as well as DTS equipment, which must be controlled by the ITER CODAC system.
