Karabo is an open source SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) framework developed at the European X-ray Free Electron Laser facility[1] since 2010.

[6] Similar to systems like EPICS and TANGO, Karabo is developed chiefly with control of large scientific infrastructure and experiments in mind.

Developers can additionally leverage tightly integrated peer-to-peer (P2P) TCP channels to transfer large data volumes at rates of multiple gigabytes per second.

[2] At the European XFEL, Karabo is used to operate the photon systems[7][8] and experiment end stations (instruments)[9][10][11] of the facility.

[13][14][15] Karabo is free and open source software under the MPL2 (framework) and GPL3 (GUI application) licenses.
