Abstract :
A telemetering system is described for controlling and monitoring the ion source, focusing, and belt charging in the high-voltage electrode of the large dc electrostatic accelerator nearing completion at Los Alamos. Time-modulated pulsed light beams are the transmission media from grounded electrode to high-voltage electrode and provide 16 Independent channels.
