	The paper describes the integration of EPICS Channel Access protocol and Microsoft ActiveX technology towards developing a generalize operator interface (OPI) building facility for Windows platform. EPICS is used as the development architecture of the control system in Superconducting Cyclotron (SCC). Considering the operators' familiarity and compatibility with third party software, it was decided to use MS-Windows platform at operator interface level in SCC during commission. Microsoft Visual Basic (VB) is used on trial basis as OPI building platform to incorporate user specific features e.g. file system access for data storage and analysis, user authentication at OPI level etc. A set of EPICS Channel Access embedded ActiveX components is developed to ease the programming complexity and reduce developmental time of the OPI for Windows platform. OPIs, developed using these components and containing hundreds of process parameters, are being used reliably over a considerable period of time.

	Funding: Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Nuclear Physics Division A FPGA based, high speed,two channel,analog input card with a maximum input sampling rate of 1 Giga samples per second (Gsps)per channel has been designed and tested. The card has got an on-board cPCI interface but has been designed in a way that it can also work as a stand-alone system. The card can function as a platform for developing and evaluating different FPGA based hardware designs. Recently, the card has been used to develop a direct sampling Low Level RF (LLRF) controller for controlling the electromagnetic fields of a prototype heavy ion RFQ. It has also been tested for acquisition of data in nuclear physics experiments. Pulses from surface barrier and silicon strip detectors were acquired at an input sampling rate of 1 Gs/s employing ²⁴¹Am and Am-Pu sources. The design developed for this makes use of pre-triggering. This paper discusses the functionality, salient design issues and features of the card. Finally the hardware designs of above mentioned applications related to different areas of LLRF control and nuclear pulse acquisition are explained and the results obtained are presented.
