Abstract :
An interactive accelerator interface module (AIM) has been developed in a workstation environment for assisting in the commissioning and operation of any storage ring/collider system. The authors describe the development of AIM and its applications on SLC. The function of AIM is to integrate modeling and simulation codes into accelerator and beamline control systems for rapid online data analysis and error-correction, resulting in significant time-savings. A system dependent module provides for the translation of specific control system data files to an appropriate input format for application programs within AIM. Interactive screen graphics, including system function diagrams, menus, beamline element status and update information are standard in AIM. AIM is connected to the Stanford Linear Collider (SLC) control system, but is easily transportable to other facilities.<>
