Controls.kt
Controls.kt (former DataForge-control) is a data acquisition framework (work in progress). It is based on DataForge, a software framework for automated data processing. This repository contains a prototype of API and simple implementation of a slow control system, including a demo.
Controls.kt uses some concepts and modules of DataForge,
such as Meta (tree-like value structure).
To learn more about DataForge, please consult the following URLs:

- DataForge documentation
- Original implementation of DataForge
DataForge-control is a Kotlin-multiplatform application. Asynchronous operations are implemented with kotlinx.coroutines library.

Features
Among other things, you can:
- Describe devices and their properties.
- Collect data from devices and execute arbitrary actions supported by a device.
- Property values can be cached in the system and requested from devices as needed, asynchronously.
- Connect devices to event bus via bidirectional message flows.

The demo includes a simple mock device with a few properties changing as sin and cos of
the current time. The device is configurable via a simple TornadoFX-based control panel.
You can run a demo by executing application/run Gradle task.
The graphs are displayed using plotly.kt library.
