A prototype coupler was developed and a test bench was built to experiment the coupler alone. Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) was developed to control, monitor and protect the test bench. In addition, the Graphical User Interface (GUI) was visually constructed and the temporal operation was designed. Input and reflected RF power of the coupler, signals from electron pickup probes, vacuum level and temperature data are monitored in real time and stored in the DAQ. The interlock is used to protect the coupler from abnormal conditions such as MP occurring inside the coupler. When the MP occurs during the experiment, the RF power must be cut off immediately. Signals such as vacuum level, signals from electron pickup probes, temperature values and temperature increase rates per second were used to consist the interlock. Detailed the GUI design and results are presented. PB - JACoW Publishing CP - Geneva, Switzerland ER -
