Abstract :
The transfer of pulsed electron accelerator from scientific scale to industrial requires a new approach for real-time beam diagnostics. The control and monitoring of beam parameters (beam current, kinetic energy, their stability) is very important for radiation technologies on the basis of electron beams. The efficiency of technology determines the quality of the control and monitoring of beam parameters. The concept of real-time beam diagnostic system for electron accelerators is considered in report. The system consists of PXI platform and uses software LabVIEW from National Instruments. The structure of system for measurements of beam parameters is described. The system allows to increase the efficiency of measurements and presentation of data. The system is acceptable to all types of electron accelerators. The question of applications of considered system is discussed.
