To validate and test those technologies, the group has previously worked in a Multipurpose Vacuum Chamber (MPVC). This chamber has a powerful pumping system, several viewports, feedthroughs, RGA and a cryocooler system installed. This configuration delivery a very flexible test environment and relative short pump time to achieve UHV conditions, essential to reduce the test and validation time. This paper will detail the MPVC automation structure, presenting the state machines, interlock logic and other diagrams that exemplify the automatic routines concepts. Operations like pumping from atmospheric pressure to HV, ionic pump flash and ventilation routines are automatic. The automated system was developed in LabVIEW, using a cRIO and Touch Panel interface. Based in Ethernet connection and published shared variables, the system has a friendly user interface and archiving for the main variables. The system was developed in a multi user collaborative ambient. The paper will show the advantages and disadvantages we faced working with LabVIEW as multiuser development tool.
