The AMS (Accelerator Mass Spectrometry) project at ATLAS (Argonne Tandem Linac Accelerator System) complements the MANTRA (Measurement of Actinides Neutron TRAnsmutation) experimental campaign. To improve the precision and accuracy of AMS measurements at ATLAS, a new overall control system for AMS measurements needs to be implemented to reduce systematic errors arising from changes in transmission and ion source operation. The system will automatically and rapidly switch between different m/q settings, acquire the appropriate data and move on to the next setting. In addition to controlling the new multi-sample changer and laser ablation system, a master control program will communicate via the network to integrate the ATLAS accelerator control system, FMA control computer, and the data acquisition system.
