APS Virtual LINAC Templates

+ +

A new set of templates has been included in R3.14.5 to +implement a Virtual LINAC in an ioc using databases and +sequence programs. The Virtual LINAC simulates the generation +and transmission of an electron beam down a LINAC. Several +steering coils, BPMs, and other typical accelerator components +are simulated to provide a realistic interaction between the +operator and the "LINAC". Since it is an entirely soft application, +it will work on any platform. An medm display is provided as the +primary GUI. It can also be used to experiment with other CA +client tools.

+ +

To install the templates, use the following commands:

+ +
+  mkdir 
+  cd 
+  <base>/bin/<arch>/makeBaseApp.pl -t vlinac vlinac
+  <base>/bin/<arch>/makeBaseApp.pl -i -t vlinac vlinac
+
+ +
