The computer control system of TARN-II
Description
This paper describes the computer control system of the heavy-ion synchrotron-cooler ring TARN-II. Five CAMAC stations are used for the acceleration and electron-cooling devices and they are controlled by a standard microcomputer through the serial-highway system. The software development was simplified by using the interpreter language INSBASIC, which is powerful for an accelerator control system. The ramping control of the guiding field of the synchrotron magnet system is also described. (orig.)
