Development of electronic record-keeping software for remote participation in Large Volume Plasma Device upgrade...

Area of Science:

• Plasma Physics
• Web Information Systems
• Experimental Data Management

Background:

• Digital transformation necessitates robust information and data sharing for large experimental facilities.
• Web technologies now enable flexible, modular, secure, and robust data sharing mechanisms.
• The Large Volume Plasma Device (LVPD) requires advanced data handling for complex plasma research.

Purpose of the Study:

• To implement a Web Information System (WIS) for the Large Volume Plasma Device (LVPD).
• To facilitate experimental configuration, information logging, and preliminary data analysis.
• To showcase the application of modern web technologies in scientific experimental domains.

Main Methods:

• Developed a three-tier architecture: application, data, and presentation layers.
• Utilized Angular 2 framework for the progressive web application presentation layer.
• Employed NodeJS for the application layer and PostgreSQL for the data layer.

Main Results:

• Successfully implemented a WIS for LVPD, enabling integrated application development.
• Demonstrated the system's capability with actual plasma discharge data.
• Showcased the applicability of the latest web technologies in scientific research.

Conclusions:

• The implemented WIS provides a flexible, modular, secure, and robust platform for experimental data.
• Modern web technologies are effectively applicable to scientific and experimental data management.
• The system offers a foundation for future enhancements in experimental data handling and analysis.
