Abstract

The setups for precise measurements of the time structure of Nuclotron internal and slowly extracted beams are described in both hardware and software aspects. The CAMAC hardware is based on the use of the standard CAMAC modules developed and manufactured at JINR. The data acquisition system software is implemented using the ngdp framework under the Unix-like operating system (OS) FreeBSD to allow the easy network distribution of the online data. It is demonstrated that the described setups are suitable for the continuous beam quality monitoring during the experiments performed at Nuclotron.
