7. Function Generator CAN-Controller DC Channels Ethernet : TCP/IP RS232 Vacuum control GPIB PCI ISA / PCI TOF/MCS Pulse Pattern Generator GPIB GUI & DATA SLOW Pseudo-FAST

8. Buncher Prototype RVC200-Balzers/Pressure Control ACG-Edwards/Pressure Monitor DS-345-Stanford/Freq. Generator PPG100-B&H/Pulse pattern generator ISEG-EHQ-F0xxy/DC-Power supply All parameters can be saved and read from files! Some parameters can be read directly from devices.

9. Perspectives 1. The Instruments HAVE TO be controlled 2. Try to follow the NI recommendations ( Incomplete drawing !! )

10. 25/08/99 - Kick-of the project : First Meeting between DVEE and SHIPTRAP group 28/09/99 - Definition of prototype parameters for the RF Buncher 14/12/99 Buncher Prototype is finished! ( > 80 % of the time on planning) 17/06/00 Planned Prototype for The TRAPS SHIPTRAP Calendar

11. Remarks Good Points It is a good base for developing DRIVERS for all the used devices. The Prototype is actually in use for Systematic studies of transmission @ different DC; gases; pressures. Project management procedure

12. Remarks Problems Not enough operational experience with the devices No experience with the CAN BUS: written from scratch ! ( See ref. to the BUG 121) Project management procedure Good Points It is a good base for developing DRIVERS for all the used devices. The Prototype is actually in use for Systematic studies of transmission @ different DC; gases; pressures. Project management procedure
