Abstract
A method of equilibrium orbit measurement in a synchrotron which utilizes a small computer for on-line data acquisition and analysis is presented. It includes a discussion of a low cost transducer circuit which is capable of processing the high frequency, phase sensitive pulse train signals obtained from pickup electrodes located along the circumference of an alternating gradient accelerator. The analog signal thus obtained is directly suitable for use by a computer's analog/digital converter. The speed with which orbits may be measured combined with the inherent flexibility of a programmable device enables accelerator physicists and machine operators to more readily probe into the behavior of the Brookhaven AGS.
