In this paper, we make an idealized model of injector section and deduce analytic expressions of bunch arrival time and bunch length. In consideration of the space charge effect on bunch lengthening, bunch arrival time and bunch length as a function of DC gun voltage, buncher field amplitude and buncher phase is carefully calibrated by means of particle in cell (PIC) simulation. With the time and space resolution of the BPM, the control accuracy of phase is estimated to be 0.01 degree, while the amplitude is 0.04%.
