International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1999 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada / A digital feedback system used to monitor and control a high energy electron beam’s orbit and stability in a VUV and X-ray storage ring will realize a 10 fold increase in the feedback system response time using packetized (IRIG 107-98) telemetry. The improvement in feedback time will provide a significant improvement in the level of orbit stability. This paper discusses the advantages of using a packetizing standard and high speed data acquisition as a cost effective way to support the scientific community in their real time processing needs.
