	The screen monitor (SC) of the KEK linac is a beam diagnostics device to measure transverse beam profiles with a fluorescent screen. The screen material is made of 99.5% Al2O3 and 0.5% CrO3, with which a sufficient amount of fluorescent light can be obtained when electron and positron beams impinge on the screen. the fluorescent light with a camera embedded with a charge-coupled device (CCD), the transverse spatial profiles of the beam can be easily measured. Compact SCs were previously developed in 1995 for the KEKB project. About 110 compact SCs were installed into the beam line at that time. VME-based computer control system was also developed in order to perform fast and stable control of the SC system. However, the previous system becomes obsolete and hard to maintain. Recently, a new screen monitor control system for the KEK electron/positron injector linac has been developed and fully installed. The new system is an embedded EPICS IOC based on the Linux/PLC.

	The non-destructive beam position monitor (BPM) is indispensable diagnostic tool for the stable beam operation. In the KEK Linac, approximately nineteen BPMs with the strip-line type electrodes are used for the beam orbit measurement and feedback. In addition, some of them are also used for the beam energy feedback loops. The current data acquisition (DAQ) system consists of the fast digital oscilloscopes. A signal from each electrode is analyzed with a predetermined response function up to 50 Hz. In the present DAQ system, the measurement precision of beam position is limited to around 0.5 mm because of ADC resolution. Towards SuperKEKB project, we have a plan to upgrade the BPM DAQ system since the Linac should provide the smaller emittance beam in comparison with previous KEKB Linac. We will report the system description of the new DAQ system and the results of performance test in detail.
