  • Abstract
    The VICKSI1 beam line instrumentation and control system is based upon a combination of two main features: i) a computer controlled multiplex system for switching of analog signals from different beam probes to analog instruments (displays, meters) in the control room for fast tuning and direct control by the operator, ii) signals going directly into the analog CAMAC bus with digital or display readout after computer processing with necessarily longer response times for careful analysis and control of long term stability. First operating experience with beam in the injection line has shown that the system allows fast beam observation and handling.
