Abstract

The beam-transfer line (BTL) was commissioned in March 1994 [1]. BTL has to inject proton beam from the existing 70 GeV accelerator (U-70) into the 600 GeV one (UNK-I[2]) under construction. An operator user-friendly interface for UNK BTL controls is described. Interface is equipped with sufficient means allowing to operator by customary terms to interact with technological process. Working in real-time regime program gives the possibilities: to control the BTL power supplies currents; to see the beam trajectory and profile along BTL; to compare real and computed through the measured emittance beam dimensions; to store archive data, etc. Working with statistical data of power supply current instabilities and beam trajectory displacements, program allows to do an estimation of partial contributions of every element in the beam position instabilities
