A high-level software BOLINA (Beam Orbit for LINear Accelerators) has been designed to fully characterise and automatically correct the ion beams trajectory, to help operators during the beam transport with an easily scalable suite for LINACs. Currently, the high-level software, interfaced with an EPICS control system, automatically manages accelerator devices to preserve the beam quality, including beam-based alignment and, if needed, dispersion-free steering software. The suite has been developed to satisfy and commutate the software easily on different machine, using interceptive /not interceptive diagnostics. The software was designed for ELI-np and now is under test at Legnaro National Laboratories of INFN using the installed accelerators complex. In particular, BOLINA has been successfully tested on the Adige Injector 1+ beamline of the SPES Project where the system response matrix is measured on interceptive beam diagnostic by varying both electrostatic and magnetic steerers. This paper describes results and strategies to reduce trajectory residuals close to the diagnostic resolutions and their effectiveness to prepare the commissioning of LINACs.
