- Description
- This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for a Molecular Beam Epitaxy Growth Chamber Controls and Data Acquisition System Upgrade requiring the following specifications: Hardware Requirements: Hardware shall include a computer to run the software, all the required hardware to connect to the listed device (ethernet hubs, serial ports, digital I/O ports, analog I/O ports, etc.), the power supplies for the hardware, all cables, connectors, and fasteners required. The computer shall be 19 rack mountable (3U, 5.25 Maximum). All hardware shall be incorporated into the 19 racks containing the system components to be controlled. Hardware shall be upgradable and scalable, so that additional devices can be added in the future. Software Requirements: Software shall provide for control, data logging, and visualization of the process variables of all devices listed in the attached device control list (Excel spreadsheet). Software shall be user upgradeable and scalable so as to include the ability to add and control any additional device that can be controlled with serial communication, analog input/output, or digital i/o. It is preferable that the software shall be completely open source, most preferably written in LabVIEW. Software shall include that ability for the user to input recipes for instrument control. This includes the ability to have any controlled device independently respond to a change in the system state, based on the user defined programmed response. This shall include the process variables of time, temperature, pressure, growth rate, or any other device feedback signal available. Software shall include visualization. For example, graphs of process variables versus time shall be included. In addition, graphs of any process variables versus any other process variable shall be able to be visualized. Software shall include a graphical user interface, with access to all functionality. Software shall include data logging capability of all devices and process variables. Software shall be documented in English. Installation and training: Installation of the computer, hardware, and software shall be included. Training and demonstration for the use of the controls system, including detailed operation and adding additional devices to the software (including development of device drivers) shall be included.
