Design and Implementation of a Multi-Channel Oscilloscope Data Acquisition and Monitoring System

The LIS (LINAC, Injectors and Synchrotron) section of the Radio Frequency group at CERN depends heavily on oscilloscopes to retrieve real-time voltage and current data from different parts of the accelerator systems. These oscilloscopes are used for analysis, monitoring, and control purposes. However, the lack of centralized access and data storage often leads to inefficiencies in workflow, data management, and collaboration. Each oscilloscope typically operates as a standalone device, requiring manual interaction for data retrieval, analysis, and saving, which can be time-consuming and error-prone. Even though most oscilloscopes have built-in web dashboards, the control possibilities on these dashboards are limited with no way to save data for future analysis. Additionally, with multiple oscilloscopes, it is not convenient to open each dashboard individually and type the designated IP addresses to access them. This project aims to develop a unified web-based dashboard that connects to all oscilloscopes within the section, enabling centralized remote access, real-time waveform monitoring, and automated data retrieval. By integrating these instruments into a single system, users can conveniently interact with multiple devices from any authorized workstation. Additionally, the system allows waveforms and measurement data to be saved in a centralized database, making historical data accessible for review, comparison, and analysis over time. The solution not only improves operational efficiency and user experience but also lays the groundwork for advanced data analytics, collaborative diagnostics, and long-term signal tracking—all essential in modern test environments.
