Description
The CLARA facility has been upgraded in Phase-II to deliver electron bunches of up to 250 MeV using a standing wave photo-injector gun, four linac structures and a fourth harmonic lineariser cavity. A transverse deflecting cavity (TDC) is also employed to measure key bunch parameters. To support reliable and efficient operation, a comprehensive RF Application Programming Interface (RF-API) has been developed within the EPICS control system. This API provides an intuitive interface for operators and serves as a foundation for higher-level machine control applications. It also enhances operational safety by monitoring unintended performance or configuration deviations in the RF systems and automatically alerting RF experts to potential degradation. This paper presents the design, capabilities, and performance of the RF-API and its associated user interface.
