does not transition from one zero crossing to another.
Readouts on the bottom provide information on the ADC input offset and
the phase servo output. The bar indicator and the readout on the left show
the output of a Cascaded Integrator Comb (CIC) decimator which averages
10

input samples (0.22 Hz
−
3 dB bandwidth). The indicator on the right
shows the phase servo correction applied to the setpoint. This indication
can be used to adjust the setpoint for near-zero correction. Such near-zero
correction is optimal for closed/open phase servo loop transitions and for low
beam current operation.

Power Amplifier Panel
iGp-5120F IOC includes driver support for Milmega power amplifier, model
AS0102-200. IOCcan communicate with the amplifier via USB or RS-232
serial port. Control and monitoring functions are combined on the power
amplifier panel shown in Fig. 17. Two control functions are available: line
and RF. Line power switch turns main power supply on and off. That also
controls the state of the cooling fans. RF control enables actual amplifier
operation. Both controls will show inconsistencies between EPICS setting
and amplifier readback in magenta. Two power meter readings are moni-
tored at 1 Hz: forward and reverse power. Internally, Milmega amp lifers
store calibration tables for these power monitors. POWER METER CALI-
BRATION FREQUENCY setting allows the user to select calibration value
appropriate for the output frequency used.

External Software Interface
Software distribution CD includes several tools extract iGp-5120F data for
analysis and processing in external software programs. These tools are writ-
ten for MATLAB
®
and use LabCA package for communicating with EPICS.
iGp read
Top-level data acquisition tool. This script will read out data
from the iGp-5120F, create a timestamped directory, and save the data
in a file called
gd.mat
. This file is in a format, compatible with MAT-
LAB
®
data analysis tools, developed for ALS/LNF-INFN/SLAC lon-
gitudinal feedback systems.
