- Abstract: The AEgIS experiment at CERN recently decided to adopt a control system
solution based on the Sinara/ARTIQ open hardware and software infrastructure.
This decision meant to depart from the previously used paradigm of custom-made
electronics and software to control the experiment's equipment. Instead,
adopting a solution with long-term support and used in many quantum physics
experiments guarantees a vivid community using similar infrastructures. This
transition reduces the risks and development timeline for integrating new
equipment seamlessly within the setup. This work reviews the motivation, the
setup, and the chosen hardware and presents several planned further steps in
developing the control system.
