Abstract

A controls' philosophy used during research, development, and operation of ion sources for the ZGS has been instituted. The total control design concept aids in the learning curve during research, development, and the turnover to the operational group. The system is designed for manual control, central computer control, and programmer computer control. The operational multiplicity is achieved by time sharing and priority interrupt assignments. Individual control console design varies with source complexity, but basic functions are similar.
