The Triton Beam Project is aiming to establish a triton-beam capability for the FSU accelerator. Its main components are a dedicated injector with a Multi-cathode SNICS source, which will provide triton-beams from tritium-loaded titanium cathodes.

Main components of the Tritium-beam project: Triton Injector

A PA1M with Arduino MKX 1000 is used to read out and voltage output various devices. The Arduino will output the status, tritium radioactivity in mCi, vacuum in Torr, and the subpump current in amp through the serial port (USB).

A raspberry pi 4B is connected to the Arduino, provides a programming interface, read-out of the serial port (USB), and pipe the reading to the database in fsunuc.physics.fsu.edu.

Instead of hosting a web server for displaying the status, A C++ SDL (Simple DirectMedia Layer) framework is used. The advantage is the small memory usage.

The source code is here https://fsunuc.physics.fsu.edu/git/jgibbons3/Multi-SNICS_Interlock.git
