Communication with TCS

To avoid the problems with communication with the TCS a new C library was made in order for programs to get TCS status information from a database instead of via the RPC communication system. This improves performance and avoids the severe software fault in the new TCS. Implementation of its use in programs has started and is successful. Also, new sequencer commands for the TCS are developed to substitute the current RPC commands that are not performing well.
