Introduction

Both FDC and CDC in Hall D will be using a gas system which will mix two or possible three different gases and deliver it to the working volume of the drift chambers. The gas systems of CDC and FDC are similar, but the number of gas ouput channels and volumetric flow are different. Both gas systems consist of two logically separate sections: mixing section which will be located in the gas shed, and deliver section which will be located in the Hall.


Brooks0254 Control and Programming module

The Brooks0254 allows for remote control via RS232 interface. We developed an EPICS driver to control it from a Linux host running Soft IOC. The source code of the device support for this module can be obtained directly from the SVN repository.
