Control system of a miniature 12 MeV race-track microtron

A simple control system has been developed for the commissioning of a compact 12 MeV race-track microtron which is under construction at the Technical University of Catalonia. It is of modular structure and is based on LabView programs at a conventional PC and ATmega microcontrollers. Apart from modules to monitor different RTM systems it also includes an Automatic Frequency Control of the magnetron frequency and interlocks. The architecture and main features of the modules are described and results of their operation are reported. Further developments of the control system and interfaces are on the way
