"Three years ago we developed a new accelerator called "stretcher-booster ring". To measure signals generated by monitors installed inside the accelerator to observe the track of electron beams we picked the Precision Data Acquisition WE7000.
We apply various monitors like a beam screen monitor, a wire-scan monitor, and a button monitor. For data gathered by the button monitor the WE7000 measures the rise of induced voltage generated on the surface of conduit when electron beams pass. "

"The WE7000 was selected mainly because of its advanced concept and its various communicative interfaces. GP-IB is the standard interface for most measurement instruments, but it transfers data too slow when large amounts are acquired. The WE7000 helped us to speed up data acquisition.
The WE7000 also enables us to execute remote operations that are indispensable as we can't enter the place where beams are generated during experiments.
Another strong point of the WE7000 is the PC-based measurement system with selectable modules to fit our application. "
