Abstract :
After a year from the installation of linac components, we have started the beam commissioning and accelerated the development. We think that the installation time is very short. As one of the answers of this, we follow the success of automatic RF conditioning. It works very well job, and the RF conditioning had finished for 400~550 hours. The conditioning system is based on VME computers and Work Station (WS). And, at the beam commissioning, we have designed new type beam fluctuation monitor using image process. This monitor is very useful for the measurement of energy fluctuation. In this paper we report the history of the construction and the beam commissioning on the linac control system
