  A new control system using man-machine interface tools with workstations as consoles has been successfully put into operation for the injection of hadrons in the CERN Proton Synchrotron (PS). This paper mainly focuses on specialized modelling programmes involving complex treatments for an optimum operation of the injection process. These programmes include the control of the injection timings, the measurement of the beam emittance with an estimation of how well the incoming beam is matched, and the correction of oscillations at injection. The infrastructure and the programming environment underlaying the new control system are described elsewhere 3¿ The outstanding feature of the internal structure of all these modelling programmes is that they carry out three kinds of data interaction: the input, that is the measurements (e.g. beam time positions, profiles and trajectories), the physical parameters (e.g. required times for synchronization, beam emittance, beam space position and angle at injection), and the output, mainly the hardware values (e.g. preset counter settings, currents to apply to injection steering magnets).
