CEA DSM Irfu Synchronised Intensity measurement Pulsed beam mandatory during the tuning phases Beam intensity of the Injector measurements in 2 ways: –beam destructive measurement with 4 Faraday cups in the LEBT –non-destructive measurements: 1 ACCT/DCCT in LEBT & 1 DCCT in MEBT Horizontal & vertical transverse emittances measured by Allison scanner emittancemeters Objectives of command control Average peak value Beam pulse display Synchronisation of readings between different equipment - Françoise Gougnaud– Spiral2 Injector Diagnostics acquisition based on new hardware Friday, June the 4th of

CEA DSM Irfu Main requirements for the electronic boards COTS VME64 (not VME64X) boards Sampling frequency from 200 K Samples/s up to 1 M Samples/s –Requirements very different depending on diagnostics users –Foreseen Bandwidth for the signals from sources : 50 KHz ADCs 14 bits resolution External trigger to synchronize the acquisitions - Françoise Gougnaud– Spiral2 Injector Diagnostics acquisition based on new hardware Friday, June the 4th of

CEA DSM Irfu The solution selected (1) New boards from the NEXEYA/ADAS company: –The set ICV108 & ICV178 ICV108 –Controller board –External trigger –RAM buffer of 4 Mbytes, DMA transfer –Numerous modes of running (Flip/Flop, single event, continuous.) –Can synchronise several ICV178 boards - Françoise Gougnaud– Spiral2 Injector Diagnostics acquisition based on new hardware Friday, June the 4th of

CEA DSM Irfu The solution selected (2) ICV178 –8 analog inputs –16 bits resolution  /  ADCs –Sampling frequency: 50 KSamples/s up to 1.2 Msamples/s Communication 178 & 108 via the VME I/O lines P2 –For data and timestamps Adas company located close to Saclay Drawback: no software driver - Françoise Gougnaud– Spiral2 Injector Diagnostics acquisition based on new hardware Friday, June the 4th of

CEA DSM Irfu ICV108 functionalities used 4 Mbytes RAM dedicated to measurements of acquisition –Flip/Flop and single event mode –IT sent by ICV108 on VMEbus at the end of each acquisition Pattern table of the ICV108 board –Contains the basic pattern to save the data in the RAM –The same pattern repeated throughout the acquisition –The pattern is divided into 10 subpatterns (configurable) –Each subpattern is composed of the number of channels to acquire –The header of each pattern includes a timestamp - Françoise Gougnaud– Spiral2 Injector Diagnostics acquisition based on new hardware Friday, June the 4th of

CEA DSM Irfu Necessary in the understanding of the ICV108 board to develop our software ADAS made several specific modifications for our applications –To permit longer delays in the measurement in comparison with the start of the pulse –Modifications of control registers « like the corner shop » Efficient support from ADAS - Françoise Gougnaud– Spiral2 Injector Diagnostics acquisition based on new hardware Friday, June the 4th of Acq=20ms IT+DMA=440µs

CEA DSM Irfu Next applications based on 108 & 178 On the line at Saclay will be installed:during this summer –An ACCT (1 MSamples/s) & a DCCT –Horizontal and vertical emittancemeters On the line at Grenoble the eight channels will be used on ICV178, not only for diagnostics but also for Hall probe and source parameters Thank you for your attention. - Françoise Gougnaud– Spiral2 Injector Diagnostics acquisition based on new hardware Friday, June the 4th of
