  For low energy linear accelerators, a typical method for measuring the transverse emittance consists in a slit and grid system. In ESS-ERIC* dedicated Emittance Measurement Units (EMUs) are used to calculate the transverse phase space (horizontal and vertical) and they are composed by a slit and grid system. This system let users reconstruct the distribution of particles in x and x’ (or y and y’), position and angle between particle trajectory and z axis, respectively. The EMU aims to measure the transverse emittance by sampling the transverse phase space. Considering control system aspect, a single EMU device is composed by different sub-systems (acquisition, motion, etc.). In this paper the software layer developed in EPICS** and realized to orchestrate the entire apparatus and control the different sub-systems will be described.

  Nowadays technologies in LINAc facilities brought the common Human-Machine Interfaces (HMIs) to be more aligned to the standards coming from the information technology (IT) and the operators started to interact to the apparatus with the common computers’ instruments: mouse and keyboard. This approach has both pro and cons. In order to minimize the cons and with the idea of providing an alternative to interact with HMIs, we tried to design and realize an open-hardware knob system solution.

  Virtual Reality (VR) technology and its derivatives are mature enough to be used in environments like a nuclear research laboratory, to provide useful tools and procedures to optimize the tasks of developers and operators. Preliminary tests were performed [*] to understand the feasibility of this technology applied to a nuclear physics laboratory with promising feedback. Due to the fact this technology is rapidly diffusing in several different professional heterogeneous environments, such as medicine, architecture, the military and industry, we tried to evaluate the impact coming from a new kind of Human-Machine Interface based on VR.
