Application of the IEEE-1394 and the GigE Vision digital cameras for diagnostics in Taiwan Light Source

Digital camera has been adopted for the booster, storage ring and transport-line diagnostic at the Taiwan Light Source. The system provides low image distortion and lossless image transmission over long distance. The system is integrated with commercial software in the control system. The fully remote control supports to various operations and functional applications. These applications include of screen monitors equipped in the booster and storage ring, wider dynamic range sensors and highly flexibility control for the emittance measurement in the transport line, the booster synchrotron and the linear accelerator. System configuration and present status will be summarized in this report.
