The graphic environment for transport line-control and beam diagnostics

This paper describes a computer program that is used in control of beam transport line from preinjector to booster ring of dedicated synchrotron radiation source “Siberia-2” (Kurchatov Institute, Moscow). The program combines the control of magnet structure, beam simulation and online beam monitoring. A graphical interface and mouse input provide an easy select and control of magnet elements. The program computes the beam transport using a first-order matrix formalism. The instantaneous display of the computed beam trajectories provides the necessary feedback to the user. The program displays information from beam position-monitors in specific graphical window. The dialog windows contain list of elements, control buttons and list box with the real currents of power supplies. The operator interface and beam simulation are written in C++ language under MS-Windows
