A major upgrade of the electron storage ring at UVSOR (Institute for Molecular Science, Japan) started from April 2012. To assist the commissioning procedure, we have developed a turn-by-turn Beam Position Monitor (BPM) system which consists of a signal switching circuit, a digital oscilloscope and software. The storage ring has 24 BPMs, each of which consists of four electrodes. By using the signal switching circuit, we can select one BPM from eight BPM's. The four signals from the BPM are sent to a digital oscilloscope and are recorded. In the switching circuit, coaxial switches of SPDT (Single Pole Dual Throw) and SP4T type are used. To control coaxial switches, we adopted 'mbed', the ARM microcontroller development kit. The 'mbed' stores the control applications configured in the HTML file and JavaScript library which can handle multiple I/O ports. It responds as a HTTP server and the control application runs on a Web browser. By clicking buttons with a mouse, we can control the I/O ports of 'mbed' through JavaScript library and accordingly can control coaxial switches. In the presentation, we will report the detail of the developed BPM system and its performance.
