G0 Slow Controls

The slow controls sub-group is responsible for integrating slow controls hardware and software provided by other G0 groups into a unified slow controls system. This involves communication with stand-alone systems associated with the spectrometer magnet/cooling control system the target and the accelerator. Mechanisms for dealing with these slow controls front end systems programed with Lab-view and EPICS must be provided. The work of this sub-group will involve maintaining specialized software for communication with beam diagnostic systems (such as current, beam position, and helicity monitoring) as well as electronics which requires external parameter down-loads. User-friendly displays must be provided to indicate status and alarm conditions.

Additional information concerning details of the G0 slow controls is available below:
