  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.

  The Diamond timing system is the latest generation development of the design, principles and technologies currently implemented in the Advanced Photon Source and Swiss Light Source timing systems. It provides the ability to generate reference events, distribute them over a fibre-optic network, and decode and process them at the equipment to be controlled. The timing system is closely integrated within the Diamond distributed control system, which is based on EPICS. The Diamond timing system functionality and performance, and first operational experiences in using the timing system during the commissioning of the accelerators, are presented in this paper.

  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.
