Abstract

A programmable system has been constructed to provide an easy means to display beam intensities and efficiencies from the various Fermilab accelerators. The purpose of these displays is to provide an alternative display method for this information. The system consists of a central microprocessor, a data acquisition subsystem, an interface to the Fermilab control system, and a link driver to drive multiple displays consisting of the name of the parameter being displayed, the units for the parameter displayed, the time the data was taken, and the actual data. The final system will have a display box at each control console in the main control room.<>
