Final goal: • - Beamdiagnostic system based on gridprofiler and faraday cupread-out • Realisationofemittance-meter Conforto Nicola SPES Control System Group Dicembre 2009
Work done in the first month: • Setupofan EPICS database on a MV3100 based IOC (withvxWorksoperatingsystem) tostoregrid and faraday cup data. • Configurationof Xycom566 boards. • ConfigurationofXycom240 boards. • Useofsimple CSS interfacestoaccess/writePVs on remote IOC.

Xycom566 boards: • (ADC boards, capturingvoltagesignals) • Acquisitionofsingle signals(froma Faraday Cup). • Acquisitionofgridcurrentsignals (froma BeamProfiler) bydriving a serial analog multiplexer. (clock generatedby Xycom566 board) • Xycom240 boards: • (Input/Output ofdigitalsignals) • -Input signalfrom the limitswitch(es) of the Faraday Cuppositioning system • -Output signalto set the Faraday Cup position Conforto Nicola SPES Control System Group Dicembre 2009
Nextsteps: Configurationand useof a boardforStepper-Motors (Positioningof the BeamProfilergrid). Controlof a stepping motor for the emittancemeasurement. Tobetested: - Connectionswith the devices on the FrontEnd - Current/voltageconversionof the signals - Amplificationof the signals Conforto Nicola SPES Control System Group Dicembre 2009
