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.

A PA1M with Arduino MKX 1000 is used to readout 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, provide programing interface and readout the serial port (USB) and pipe the reading to the database in fsunuc.physics.fsu.edu. It also host a web server to display the status graphically.
