Target manipulator control in experiments at an accelerator

Abstract

The new system of distant control by the target manipulator in experiments at an accelerator is described. The manipulator consists of the three-axis goniometer and the target holder. The hardware maintenance of the control is carried out by means of a modified step-motor driver in the CAMAC standard. This driver is suitable for the work with four step-motors, instead of one. The software maintenance of the control has been worked out as well. The system has been tested at the practicable conditions of an experiment
