Abstract :
MARCO is a knowledge-based user interface for commissioning and operating modern accelerators and storage rings. Its purpose is to provide a model-referenced graphical interface system between the users and the machine. It allows access to modeling and simulation codes that are used in the design of the machine. It can be used to predict the effects of a change of parameters on the beam, or to compare the predicted with the measured effects. The design and prototype development of MARCO using Hypercard is described.<>
