	Funding: Work supported by U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Sciences, under Contract No. DE-AC02-06CH11357 A Hall probe insertion device (ID) measurement system has been developed to characterize the IDs at the Advanced Photon Source (APS). The system uses the latest state-of-the-art field programmable gate array (FPGA) technology to synchronize the position and Hall voltage measurements. Data block first-in-first-out (FIFO) has been implemented to transfer the data from the FPGA to the host computer during measurement. The system is capable of continuous scanning measurements on a full 6 meter bench at 1 ms per data point with the position resolution of 1 micron and Hall voltage precision of 5-1/2 digits.

WEPD48	Facility-Wide Synchronization of Standard FAIR Equipment Controllers	controls, kicker, radio-frequency, factory	84

	The standard equipment controller for the new FAIR accelerator facility is the Scalable Control Unit (SCU). It synchronizes and controls the actions of up to 12 purpose-built slave cards, connected in a crate. Facility-wide synchronization is a core FAIR requirement and thus precise timing of SCU slave actions is of vital importance. The SCU consists primarily of two components, a daughter board with CPU and a carrier board with FPGA, interconnected by PCI Express. The CPU receives configuration and set values with which it programs the real-time event-condition-action (ECA) unit in the FPGA. The ECA unit receives event messages via the timing network, which also synchronizes clocks using White Rabbit. Matching events trigger actions on the SCU slave cards such as ramping magnets, triggering kickers, etc. Timing requirements differ depending on the action taken. For softer real-time actions, an interrupt can be generated for complex processing on the CPU. Alternatively, the FPGA can directly fire a pulse or bus operation. The delay and jitter achievable in each case differs and this paper examines their timing performance to determine which is appropriate for the required actions.

	RRCAT has commissioned a beam-line on Indus-2 synchrotron facility for carrying out Angle Dispersive X-ray Diffraction Measurement. A typical high pressure measurement is carried out by placing the sample in the Diamond Anvil Cell (DAC) with the sample located in a region of beam diameter within 50-100 μm. The X-Ray beam has to pass through the DAC to ensure maximum illumination of the sample with the X-Rays. An X-Y beam scanner/locater cum placement system is developed, which scans an area of 10 x 10 mm² with resolution of 10 to 100 μm in rough scan mode and fine scans selected area with programmable resolution of 2.5 to 25 μm. The scanner acts as slave to the PC in which master GUI grabs the data on serial port and plots the image of X-ray beam. It also analyzes and detects the coordinate with maximum intensity. Thus the DAC can be placed at the desired location with an accuracy of 2.5μm anywhere within 10 x 10 mm², for performing experiment. Developed system takes only ~5 minutes to search the beam and a few seconds to place DAC at any the desired location within the scanned area.

	We have developed a car-borne survey system named as KURAMA (Kyoto University RAdiation MApping system) for the establishment of air dose rate map in Fukushima and surrounding area as a response to the nuclear accident at TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant on March 11, 2011. KURAMA is developed with LabVIEW. The monitoring data tagged by GPS location data are shared with remote servers over 3G mobile network, then processed by servers for a real time plot on Google Earth and other various purposes. A CompactRIO-based KURAMA-II is developed for the autonomous operation in public vehicles. More than a hundred of KURAMA and KURAMA-II now serves for the drawing up the radiation map in the East Japan by Japanese government. The outline and present status of KURAMA and KURAMA-II are introduced.
