TI - ALS Timing System Upgrade J2 - Proc. of IBIC2014 AB - The Advanced Light Source (ALS) is in the process of upgrading its timing system as a part of the ALS Instrumentation and Controls Upgrade project. The timing system built upon construction of the machine at the beginning of the 1990s is still in operation today, and a replacement of the machine timing system is under way based on a commercially available solution, benefiting from 20 years of improvements in the fields of digital electronics and optical communications. An overview of the new timing system architecture based on a Micro-Research Finland (MRF) solution is given here.
