A latest experience in digital signal processing of BPM data obtained in synchrotrons of ITEP and GSI is discussed. The data in ITEP was collected by BPM processor prototype while the SIS18 in GSI uses a renovated digital system. Due to different concept of BPM architectures on those facilities it is possible to compare algorithms oriented to certain hardware. Several algorithms of position detection are compared to each other. Performances of ‘collective’ and partly distributed algorithms are estimated. Data reduction methods and visualization solutions are considered. Finally low- and wideband data evaluation for longitudinal phase space is presented.

To achieve high current operation close to the space charge limit in a synchrotron, a precise tune measurement during a full accelerating cycle is required. A tune measurement system that was recently commissioned at GSI synchrotron SIS-18 allows for online evaluation of the actual tune. This system consists of three distinct parts; an exciter which provides power to excite coherent betatron oscillations of the beam. The BPM signals thus induced are digitized by fast ADCs at 125 MSa/s and then the post processing electronics integrates the data bunch by bunch to obtain one position value per bunch. Subsequently base band tune is determined by Fourier transformation of the position data. The tune variation during acceleration for various beam conditions was measured using this system and is discussed. A detailed investigation of the incoherent tune shift was conducted with Uranium ion beams at the injection energy of 11.6 MeV/u. The results show the influence of beam current on the tune spectrum. In addition, the effects of the measurement method on the beam emittance and beam losses are discussed.

Development of FESA-based Data Acquisition and Control for FAIR

GSI has selected the CERN Front End Software Architecture (FESA) to operate future beam diagnostic devices for the upcoming FAIR facility. The FESA framework is installed and operational at the GSI site, giving equipment specialists the possibility to develop FESA classes for device control and data acquisition. This contribution outlines first developments of FESA-based systems for various applications. Prototype DAQ systems based on FESA are the BPM system of the synchrotron SIS18 with data rates up to 7 GBit/s and a large scaler setup for particle counters called LASSIE. FESA classes that address gigabit Ethernet cameras are used for video imaging tasks like scintillator screen observation. Control oriented FESA classes access industrial Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) for the slow control of beam diagnostic devices. To monitor temperatures and set fan speeds of VME crates, a class communicating over the CAN bus has been developed.
