The ALICE Experiment Control System
What is your use case?
-
I want to run AliECS (and other O²/FLP software) on a single machine
-
I want to run AliECS (and other O²/FLP software) in a multi-node setup
🚧 No user instructions yet - contact alice-o2-flp-support for assistance with provisioning and deployment.
-
I want to ensure AliECS can run and control my process
-
My software is based on FairMQ and/or O² DPL
🌴 Nothing to do, AliECS natively supports FairMQ (and DPL) devices.
-
My software does not use FairMQ and/or DPL, but should be controlled through a state machine
🔭 See the OCC documentation to learn how to integrate the O² Control and Configuration library with your software. Readout is currently the only example of this setup.

There are two ways of interacting with AliECS:
