Abstract :
The design of the control system for MIT´s pulse stretcher ring is described. Heavy use is made of standard hardware and software elements. Particular emphasis is given to the design of a true distributed system, one that can expand both at the data acquisition/control and at the data processing end. For this purpose, a method is proposed to avoid increasing the traffic on the network when adding more computers. Issues related to real-time response and user interfaces are also treated. Measurements to data are summarized
