Abstract

The Experimental and Instrumental Control System EPICS is used to control magnets and to read data from diagnostic devices in the CEBAF accelerator. We describe a prototype system where an EPICS installation, local on a laptop or Raspberry Pi, controls beam optics simulations. They can be running on the same computer or on a separate computer connected via the network. The prototype focuses on modeling and controlling the moderately complex injector beam line of CEBAF, which only comprises a few dozen magnets and beam monitors.
