STEP-NC (ISO 14649) is becoming a promising standard to replace or supplement the conventional G-code programs based on ISO 6983 due to its feature based machine independent characteristics and its centric role to enable efficient CAD/CAM/CNC interoperability. The re-use of Gcode programs is important for both manufacturing and capitalization of machining knowledge, nevertheless the conversion ...

The Diamond booster and storage ring are equipped with Libera Electron Beam Position Processors with turnby-turn capabilities. We describe here the turn-by-turn data acquisition system and the software used for postprocessing the beam data. The signals from the Libera boxes are acquired and controlled with EPICS and then transferred to the MATLAB environment via the MATLAB Channel Access or Lab...

A turn-by-turn vertical beam profile monitor has been developed at the Cornell Electron Storage Ring (CESR). The instrument optically images the vertical beam distribution with an array of optical fibers that transport visible synchrotron radiation to an array of photo-multiplier tubes. Each PMT signal is recorded by a turn-by-turn data acquisition system. With this instrument, we compare profi...
