	At the Idaho Accelerator Center (IAC) of Idaho State University, we have been operating fifteen low energy accelerators. To optimize those accelerators properly, we have to measure the transverse beam emittance. To measure the transverse beam emittance of an S-band linear accelerator with the quadrupole scan technique, we installed an Optical Transition Radiation (OTR) screen and a digital CCD camera in the bealime of the accelerator. From the images of the digital CCD camera, the transverse beam profile on the OTR screen can be acquired. To extract the transverse beam size and to estimate the transverse emittance, we have developed a MATLAB program. This paper describe the details of the MATLAB program and performance of our MATLAB based emittance measurement tool.

	At the Idaho Accelerator Center (IAC) of Idaho State University, we have been operating 15 low energy accelerators for nuclear physics applications and medical isotope production. But those accelerator do not have good computer based system to control the various accelerator components remotely. To obtain stable accelerator operations with a good reproducibility, we adapted the EPICS accelerator control system. After developing one full set of the EPICS accelerator control system for various components, we will apply the same EPICS control system for all other operating accelerators at the IAC. Since January 2011, we have been developing an EPICS control system for a 16 MeV S-band linac by collaborating with SLAC control group. In this paper, we describe our first EPICS accelerator control system to control magnet power supplies of the S-band linac at the IAC.
