Pfeiffer RVC300 Pressure Controller

This repository contains the driver code and "default" Midas frontend for the Pfeiffer RVC 300 Pressure Controller.

Manual

See here.

Requirements

Requires a Midas installation with the environment variable MIDASSYS pointing to the built Midas artifacts and headers.

Build

Clone this repository, enter the cloned directory, and then build via CMake.

cmake -S "$(pwd)" -B <directory-to-build-in>
cmake --build <directory-to-build-in> --clean-first -- -j8

Including in a larger CMake Project

Default Frontend

To use the default frontend contained within the frontend directory from within a larger CMake project, you should ensure that the environment variable MIDASSYS points to your system install and include a snippet in your CMakeLists.txt similar to the following:

# If the path to the pfeiffer_rvc300 repository is outside of the frontend
# repository, you also need to provide a location for the pfeiffer_rvc300
# artifacts as a second argument to `add_subdirectory`
# e.g. `./device/pfeiffer_rvc300`
add_subdirectory(
    <path-to-pfeiffer_rvc300-repository>
)

default_rvc300_frontend(
  He4_Flow_scfe # Target Name
  He4_Flow      # Frontend Name
  14            # Event ID
)

Custom Frontend

To use this driver within a custom frontend, ensure the environment variable MIDASSYS points to your system install. Then include this repository within the parent CMakeLists.txt and build your target against the pfeiffer_rvc300 library:

# If the path to the pfeiffer_rvc300 repository is outside of the frontend
# repository, you also need to provide a location for the pfeiffer_rvc300
# artifacts as a second argument to `add_subdirectory`
# e.g. `./device/pfeiffer_rvc300`
add_subdirectory(
    <path-to-pfeiffer_rvc300-repository>
)

add_executable(
  <custom-frontend-target-name>
  :
  :
)

target_link_libraries(
  <custom-frontend-target-name>
  PRIVATE
    pfeiffer_rvc300    # The library built by this repository
    :
)

Test Frontend

Clone this repository, enter the cloned directory, and then build via CMake ensuring that the BUILD_TEST_FRONTEND variable is defined.

cmake -S "$(pwd)" -B <directory-to-build-in> -DBUILD_TEST_FRONTEND=ON
cmake --build <directory-to-build-in> --clean-first -- -j8

This will create an executable within the directory <directory-to-build-in>/pfeiffer_rvc300_fe which you can run via

<directory-to-build-in>/pfeiffer_rvc300_fe -e <instrument-name>
