S05SRN01	A Control System for a Free Electron Laser Experiment	195
	D. Giove INFN/LASA, Segrate (MI), Italy
	The general layout of a control and data acquisition system for a Free Electron Laser experiment will be discussed. Some general considerations about the requirements and the architecture of the whole system will be developed. The aim or the ELFA (Electron Laser Facility) experiment is to study the physics of a single pass FEL amplifier operating in the high gain Compton regime using a short electron pulse beam. The experimental purpose is the production of high peak power (0.3-1 GW) of microwave radiation, with a basic wavelength of λ_r=3 mm, and the possibility of tuning from λ_r= 1 cm to λ_r=0.1 mm. In order to achieve this goal an electron beam of very high current (400 A) in short pulses (6 cm) and with a maximum energy around 10 MeV will be injected into the wiggler midplane.

S05SRN02	Control System for JAERI Free Electron Laser	198
	M. Sugimoto JAEA, Ibaraki-ken, Japan
	A control system comprising of the personal computers network and the CAMAC stations for the JAERI Free Electron Laser is designed and is in the development stage. It controls the equipment and analyzes the electron and optical beam experiments. The concept and the prototype of the control system are described. The Free Electron Laser (FEL) facility, SCARLET (Superconducting Accelerator for Research of Light Emission at Tokai), is now under construction at JAERI. It is a first step of the FEL program and the aim is the R&D of the superconducting accelerator (SCA) based FEL system in 10-50 µm range. The SCA is employed due to the suitability for the cw operation in the second phase of the project.

S05SRN03	Control Software for the ESO VLT	202
	G. Raffi ESO, Garching bei Muenchen, Germany
	The Very Large Telescope (VLT) project of ESO consists of an array of four optical telescopes of 8 m diameter, to be installed at a new site in the Atacama desert in Chile starting in 1995. The control software is completely distributed, being based on LANs interconnecting microprocessors and workstations, where several users and operators will be active at the same time. Microprocessors are used in a variety of control functions, including the active control of the shape of the main mirror and compensation for atmospheric turbulence. Dedicated links and antennas are planned for direct communication and remote observation from various European centers. The main concepts and novelties of the software design are explained.

S05SRN04	Distributed Control and Data Acquisition for the EUROGAM Gamma Ray Spectrometer	208
	E.C.G. Owen Cockcroft Institute, Warrington, Cheshire, United Kingdom
	EUROGAM is an Anglo/French Gamma Ray Detector which will alternate between the Tandem Van der Graaf at Daresbury and the Vivitron at Strasbourg. Because of the need to conform to the standards of Laboratories in two different countries, and the very sensitive nature of electronics for Germanium Gamma Ray telescopes. the newly emerging VXIbus (VMEbus EXtensions for Instrumentation) was chosen as the basis for control and data acquisition. This entailed a major programme of development for both the signal processing front end modules for Germanium and Bismuth Germanate detectors, and also for the hardware and software management of resources from within the VXI environment. The paper will concentrate mainly on the latter areas.

	We have developed a control system of the Nobeyama Millimeter Array which is a radio interferometer for astronomical observations at millimeter wavelengths. The system consists of three sub-systems (MANAGER, ENGINE, and STATUS CONTROLLER). Observers conduct their observations with MANAGER sub-system, which run on a UNIX workstation. ENGINE is a rigid system on an IBM compatible mainframe. It controls the accurate tracking of astronomical radio objects, and acquires a large amount of observed data from a receiver backend. STATUS CONTROLLER consists of several personal computers which control and monitor the receiver system. These sub-systems are connected with an ethernet.
