TwinEBIS Control - Development of a LabVIEW Based Control System for Particle Ionisation and Measurement

This thesis documents the development of the control system for the TwinEBIS test bench It is a system that facilities experimentation on the creation of carbon ions for cancer treatment. The thesis comprises of the assessment of requirements, the selection of hardware, the creation of firmware and control software. The requirement documentation was used to select the hardware and develop the software for the control system. The end result is a control system that enables the experiment and is flexible enough to adapt to the changes of the test bench. The flexibility makes it possible to use the system for more experiments than it was originally intended for.
