The Daresbury Laboratory High-Performance Experimental Controller unit allows a wide range of complex and functionally diverse experimental elements to be coordinated in a predictable and straight-forward manner.
Based on a unit widely used within the synchrotron community, the TFG1, this next generation unit not only improves upon the basic system parameters but also affords new functions such as beam synchronisation and ADC logging.
This technically advanced VME based unit has recently been installed on the Diamond Light Source and offers great benefits to synchrotron beamline scientists.
