Abstract :
A computor control system of magnets in the low energy separated beams in KEK is reported. The system consists of five CAMAC crates and a central minicomputor. The CAMAC crates are connected by a CAMAC Serial Highway. The transmission is 128 k bytes/sec byte serial mode. Compared to the manual remote control arrangement, improvements in beam line operation can be identified.
