  We report our experience in porting Linac application programs written for CAMAC controlled hardware consoles to an X·Windows/Motif based workstation environment. Application programs acquire their parameter values from a front end computer (FEC), controlling the acceleration process, via a local area network. The timing for data acquisition and control is determined by the particle source timing. Two server programs on the FEC for repetitive acquisition and command-response mode will be described. The application programs on the workstations access a common parameter access server who establishes the necessary connection to the parameters on the FEC. It displays the parameter’s current values and allows control through Motif interactive synoptics editor and its corresponding driver program allow easy generation of synoptics displays and interaction through command panels.
