Abstract

A computer interface for the Clinac-18 linear accelerator has been developed, using a standard CAMAC interface plus buffer amplifiers to isolate the CAMAC from the accelerator electronics. Buffer amplifiers are employed because direct connection of the CAMAC system to the accelerator was found to affect accelerator operation. The total interface accommodates the four gantry position analog signals and thirteen digital signals describing all available treatment options. The interface also allows the computer to inhibit beam operation.
