Morkovnikov I. A., Kirilov A. S. System of Measurements Registration ®Journal ̄ on the Spectrometersof the IBR-2 Pulsed Reactor (JINR, P10-2018-63) (in russian) The work is devoted to the Journal system intended for automation of registrationprocess of measurements performed on the IBR-2 instruments. The system concept,requirements to a data model and service are considered. The offered concept wasoriginally conceived as uniˇed for the simplifying adaptation to instrument speciˇcs.Now the system is implemented on spectrometers of YuMO, HRFD and GRAINS.The version for NERA instrument is prepared for testing. In the near future theJournal system will be supplemented with the ability to work with data in the centralrepository of FLNP measurement results.
Kirilov A. S., Morkovnikov I. A. About the Concept of the File Repositaryfor Istruments at the IBR-2 Pulsed Reactor (JINR, Р10-2018-23) (inrussian) The work is devoted to the concept of a central repository of measurement datafrom the IBR-2 instruments at the FLNP, JINR. The concept takes into accountthe variety of structures and data ˇle formats on speciˇc instruments, the users'wishes, and estimated amount of disk spacerequired. The questions of the serviceorganization for the work with the data into the storage were considered, taking intoaccount the existing system of automaticmeasurements registration Journal.
A.S.Kirilov. Instrument control software at the IBR-2: directions of development (JINR, E10-2017-89) The work is devoted to the development trends of the Sonix+software complex,which is used as instrument control software at the IBR-2 reactor at the FLNP. Cur-rently, the complex includes programs fordirect control of beam experiments, theWebSonix system for remote measurement supervision and the Journal program forautomatic registration of measurements. Development of all these components willbe continued. The appearance of new devices in the setup, ˇrst of all, DAQ con-trollers Delidaq2 with USB3 interface, will besupported within the existing structure.Enhancement of network services is aimed at increasing the security, stability in op-eration and ease of use. Considerable attention will be paid to the development andimplementation of the concept of a centralized repository of measurement results
Kirilov A. S. Evolution of the Interpreter Modulein the Instrumental Software Complex SONIX+ (JINR, P10-2017-88) (in russian) The SONIX+software complex is designed as a uniˇed control software forneutron spectrometers. At present, it is installed at the instruments of the IBR-2reactor at the FLNP, JINR, as well as in a number of other centers of the RussianFederation Å about 20 installations alltogether. The Python programming languageis selected as the control language for scripting experimental procedure in the com-plex. The interpreter module is its most important part. This allowed not only todescribe the instrument procedure speciˇcs but also to include elements of prelim-inary processing of the results of measurements in a script. The work is devotedto the evolution of the script interpreter module Å the most important element ofthe complex, re ecting the increasing complexity of both the instruments themselvesand the measurement methodology.
The article is devoted to the main features of the tuning program (ICE) and the spectra visualization program (SpectraViewer), used at reflectometers of the IBR-2, FLNP, JINR. The ICE program is implemented as an add-on for the control software Sonix+ and is designed to adjust the instrument before the main measurement. The SpectraViewer program is also used at other instruments. Programs have been written using the PyQt and the graphics library matplotlib.

The work is devoted to the adaptation of the Sonix + software tool kit to control the powder diffractometer D3 at one of the beams of the IVV-2M reactor at the Neutron Complex for Materials Research in the Institute of Metal Physics (Zarechny). Sonix+ was designed for instruments at the IBR-2 reactor using the time-of-fight mode of spectra accumulation. However, the underlying solutions simplifyed the software adaptation for use at stationary reactors.
Morkovnikow I.A. Configuration Files Processing in Sonix+ (JINR, P10-2014-53) (in russian)
The work is dedicated to configuration files processing in software package Sonix+. The work contains a list of soft ware data processing drawbacks and their solutions. The structure of configuration files was formalized and the model providing editing of configurations files was developed during the work. The document contains logic of functions related with data processing and description of additional functions for developers.
The work is dedicated to data storage creation and ˇle transfer automation from control computer to the ˇle server. The work contains a list of data storage hardware and software, a description of the file system organization and data security.
The work is dedicated to the set of visual components (widgets), which facilitates the development of graphical user interface (GUI) to control the measurements on neutron instruments with software package Sonix+. The kit components correspond to the basic functions of the user interface for managing the measurement and visualization of spectra, as well as provide program upload/download for the package components and a number of other functions. The set is used in the development of the universal GUI and tuning programs for instruments of the IBR-2, as well as specialized GUI for some instruments at other centers.
The work is dedicated to the automation of the registration process of measurements performed on the IBR-2 instruments. Stored information is intended for those responsible for the instruments, in order to simplify measurements accounting, provide information search and assist in the preparation of reports. The general approach to the problem is considered, which in the first phase was implemented on YuMO spectrometer using Python, PyQt, MySQL.
Kirilov A.S. Current State and Prospects of the IBR-2M Instrument Control Software (ОИЯИ,P10-2011-101) (in russian)
The article is devoted to the main features and plans of future improvements of the Sonix+ instrumental complex, which is used now to control experimental hardware at the IBR-2M spectrometers. The Sonix+ software inherited basic solutions from the older Sonix system. In particular , those are the modular organization using special database for device control and reflection of the current system state, using script programming for the measurement procedure. At the same time, some basic features were revised to make the system more unified, flexible and comfortable for the user. Main changes can be grouped as follows: structural enhancements, using the Python as a script language, GUI redesign and unification, remote supervision and instrument control via network. During the last years, this complex has been tested at some IBR-2 instruments (REMUR, NERA-PR) and on some instruments at other centers. We are planning to install it at the other instruments of IBR-2M as well.
