Digitizing video signals for the EPICS-based accelerator control system of the S-DALINAC* — •Thomas Schösser, Jonny Birkhahn, Christoph Burandt, Florian Hug, Patrick Nonn, and Norbert Pietralla — Institut für Kernphysik, TU Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany

The Superconducting Darmstadt Linear electron Accelerator S-DALINAC provides electron beams for experiments in the field of nuclear structure physics.

Beam diagnostics is mainly based on beryllium oxide targets which are observed by analog CCD cameras. A video multiplexer allows to send up to eight video signals to the control room. To gain further flexibility, digitizing of the video signals and integration into the EPICS based accelerator control system is being worked on. This will also allow for automatic image processing which is crucial for future plans for computer supported beam commissioning procedures.
