49. Orbit Display: A PyQt Tool for Viewing Beam Trajectories in Real-Time

Matthew Gibbs (SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory)

Machine Optimisation through the Operators

Oral

Orbit Display is an operator-created application that displays real-time data from over 100 beam position monitors. Originally written for the Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) accelerator, it has also been successfully ported to a different machine and control system at the European XFEL. This talk will discuss how an operator perspective influenced the design, the architecture of the...

34. Using Operations UI in Engineering Systems to Reduce Downtime

Machine Optimisation through the Operators

Oral

From its start, the NSLS-II controls system was designed in stages; Engineering controls, followed by Physics applications and pages, and finally an Operations layer for the control-room. Of the three layers, the Engineering pages have remained predominantly static, from the mindset of machine controls being “complete” and not modifying a system that is in-use. Operations pages and tools,...

44. Operational Software Tools for the Injection Efficiency Improvement in the PLS-II

Machine Optimisation through the Operators

Oral

One of the main issues of the linac operation problems in the PLS-II is injection efficiency for top-up mode to keep radiation safety levels. The energy spread of the injection beam is the main beam parameter to effect injection efficiency. So we try to develop several operational software tools to reduce the amount of energy spread. And also beam energy jitter is another parameter for...
