	With aging hardware and expensive maintenance and replacement possibilities, it was decided to upgrade the CERN Antiproton Accumulator Complex (AAC) touch terminal consoles with modern hardware. With significant amount of operational application software developed with touch terminals over 10 years, the philosophy adopted was to attempt a total emulation of these console functions of touch actions, graphics display as well as simple keyboard terminal entry onto the front-end computer controlling the AAC. The PC based emulation by mouse and multiple windows under MS-DOS and later, under the Windows 3 environment was realized relatively quickly; the next stage was therefore to do the same on the Unix platform using software based on X-Windows. The communications channel was established using the TCP/IP socket library. This paper reviews this work up to the operational implementation for routine control room usage for both these solutions.

	Schottky signals are extensively used for observation, setting-up and operation of CERN’s Antiproton rings, namely the AC, the AA and LEAR. Measurement of these signals is, at present, carried out by a series of commercial instruments. These instruments have to be individually controlled and read by each application program. The operational use of the system is limited by the capabilities of the individual instruments. The first objective for the new system was to provide, as far as possible, a true "server". The "client" application program simply requests the data it requires. It is then supplied with measured and processed data. This provides the operator with a fast response by having ready processed data always available. Our second goal was to make the system operationally simple, with multiple windows and presentation on a single screen. This paper discusses some aspects of this implementation and applications for the antiproton production, collection, and storage rings.

Schottky signals are extensively used for observation, setting-up and operation of CERN’s Antiproton rings, namely the AC, the AA and LEAR. Measurement of these signals is, at present, carried out by a series of commercial instruments. These instruments have to be individually controlled and read by each application program. The operational use of the system is limited by the capabilities of the individual instruments. The first objective for the new system was to provide, as far as possible, a true "server". The "client" application program simply requests the data it requires. It is then supplied with measured and processed data. This provides the operator with a fast response by having ready processed data always available. Our second goal was to make the system operationally simple, with multiple windows and presentation on a single screen. This paper discusses some aspects of this implementation and applications for the antiproton production, collection, and storage rings.
