  The Diamond booster and storage ring are equipped with Libera Electron Beam Position Processors with turn-by-turn capabilities. We describe here the turn-by-turn data acquisition system and the software used for post-processing the beam data. The signals from the Libera boxes are acquired and controlled with EPICS and then transferred to the MATLAB environment via the MATLAB Channel Access. Here they are post-processed using MATLAB capabilities and dedicated software linked to MATLAB. Examples of data acquired and measurements performed during Diamond booster and storage ring commissioning are reported.

  The Diamond accelerator complex is controlled with EPICS. While generic applications are provided by the EPICS toolkit, accelerator physics application for the commissioning and operation of the Diamond booster, storage ring and transfer line are mainly developed with MATLAB. The MATLAB Middle Layer tools developed at ALS and SPEAR3 have been extensively used and extended with many new applications. Experience using these tools during the commissioning of the Diamond booster, transfer lines and storage ring are reported.

  The Diamond booster is a 158 m circumference, 5 Hz synchrotron which accelerates the 100 MeV electron beam from a linac to 3 GeV for full-energy injection into the Diamond storage ring. The booster has been commissioned in the first few months of 2006, following successful initial 100 MeV trials at the very end of 2005. The injection and ramping process, orbit correction and essential beam physics measurements are discussed as are extraction and beam transport to the storage ring.

  Diamond is a new 3rd generation synchrotron light source currently being commissioned in the UK. The control system for Diamond will be a site-wide monitoring and control system for the accelerators, beamlines and conventional facilities. This paper presents the design and implementation of the Diamond control system, which is based on the EPICS control system toolkit. It will present the detailed choice of hardware and software, the solutions realised for interfacing and control of the major technical systems of Diamond, together with progress on installation and commissioning.
