1. Target Real Time software Current status DAQ card – NI 6254 Analog/Digital card Problems with Linux version drivers Currently reading up to 12 channels analog Target position is digital so convert to analog to read with card……. Unsatisfactory.

2. Software Status Two components DAQ code – James Reads raw data from card and dumps into event (individual pulses) files. Monitoring application MAP – Mice Analysis Program EPICS based monitoring - Pierrick

3. Variables Recorded ISIS beam intensity - analog Target dip depth – digital Beamloss all kinds – analog Frame status raised/lowered - analog Delay Beam Position

4. P s,T s T Beam on T Beam off P min,T min BL Peak

5. Integration with Main DAQ J-Ss card installed in target DAQ machine J-S independently producing code to read from target DAQ. Need to ensure we can simultaneously monitor target Need to be able to switch back to own DAQ on demand

6. What do we want to Display Target depth or distance from beam centre Delay ISIS beam intensity Pulse shape (parameterised ?) Beamloss in various parts of ring What is definition of beamloss ?

7. Discussion NI have indicated that new drivers “may” be available in December. What do we do if NI cannot supply updated drivers ? Does the EPICS monitoring system meet our requirements ? Can we parameterise the data on the fly for velocity, acceleration etc. ?

8. Discussion Will new control system (Paul S) need new monitoring software ? Anything I have not thought of ?
