Abstract:

Background: This paper introduces the application of embedded MySQL database in the real-time monitoring system of the digital power supply system in Heavy Ion Research Facility in Lanzhou (HIRFL). Purpose: The aim is to optimize the real-time monitoring system of the digital power supply system for better performance. Methods: The MySQL database is designed and implemented under Linux operation system running on ARM processor, together with the related functions for real-time data monitoring, such as collection, storage and query. All status parameters of digital power supply system is collected and communicated with ARM by a FPGA, whilst the user interface is realized by Qt toolkits at ARM end. Results: The actual operation indicates that digital power supply can realize the function of real-time data monitoring, collection, storage and so on. Conclusion: Through practical application, we have found some aspects we can improve and we will try to optimize them in the future.
