Abstract :
The ETA-II linear induction accelerator has pulse power and beam diagnostic sensors distributed throughout the system. The accelerator consists of an injector, 20 accelerator cells arranged in two ten-cell blocks, and a transport section leading to an energy analyzer. In total there are approximately 120 beam diagnostic channels and 32 pulse power signals which are recorded on six Tektronix 7912AD oscilloscopes. The analysis, display, and interpretation of these data were done using systems for scientific visualization and a simple user interface. Results from several measurements are presented, showing how the diagnostics and system are utilized.<>
