It was developed at Diamond Light Source in order to overcome limitations presented to us by some of our existing hardware simulations. With the Tickit framework, simulations can be addressed with a compositional approach. It allows devices to be simulated individually while still maintaining the interconnected behaviour exhibited by their hardware counterparts. This is achieved by modelling the interactions between devices, such as electronic signals. Devices can be collated into larger simulated systems providing a layer of simulated hardware against which to test the full stack of Data Acquisition and Controls tools. We aim to use this framework to extend the scope and improve the interoperability of our simulations; enabling us to further improve the testing of current systems and providing a preferential platform to assist in development of the new Acquisition and Controls tools.
