Abstract :
The major controls and instrumentation systems for the ILC test areas and the NML test accelerator at Fermilab are discussed. The test areas include 3 separate areas for vertical superconducting RF cavity testing, horizontal cavity testing,and NML RF and beam test area. A common control infrastructure for the test areas including a controls framework,electronic logbook and cavity database will be provided, while supporting components supplied by collaborators with diverse areas of expertise (EPICS,DOOCS,LabVIEW,and Matlab). The discussions on the instrumentation systems are focused on overview and requirements.
