  • Abstract
    The ion source produces a 30-mA beam of 35-KeV H/sup -/ ions for SSC accelerators. The beam is chopped at 10 Hz into pulses of 7 to 100 mu s. The ion source presents an opportunity to implement and exercise software tools and techniques which will be useful in future SSC control systems. TACL, a software package from the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility, forms the core of the system. TACL controls several analog channels and monitors interlocks. The integrated system, including VXI and CAMAC acquisition modules attached to a network of heterogeneous computers, is described.<>
