Abstract
A unified control system philosophy allows operation of the linac from a PDP-8 mini-computer with full supervisory control, data acquisition and the full computation capability of the PDP-10 located at the AGS. Interface hardware for diagnostic monitoring equipment and operational control equipment is described. Failure of any link in the control system does not necessitate shut down of the linac, only a diminished control capability results.
