Abstract

The upgraded Tevatron collider has two new matched low beta insertions and operates with electrostatic separators to have different orbits for the proton and pbar beams. A general-purpose application program has been developed which allows the operator to control approximately 200 function generators and associated timers to commission, tune, and operate the machine. The program and relevant aspects of the Fermilab controls environment are discussed.<>
