The SSRL injector control system

The control system for the SSRL injector for SPEAR is based on one central VAX/VMS workstation with additional workstations as consoles and standard CAMAC equipment for data transmission and hardware interfacing. The CAMAC crates are connected to the central workstation by using a serial highway. The central computer has the database that describes all the accelerator hardware characteristics and the actual accelerator status information. The application software is built on top of the central database and is independent of the specific hardware characteristics. >
