Description
VME-based event timing system plays an important role for the synchronization of beam diagnostics and accelerator device control at KEK LINAC. However, with some VME modules approaching its market end-of-life, transitioning to modern platforms like MicroTCA is becoming necessary. We decide to migrate the timing system by focusing on a phased upgrade approach, where new MicroTCA based MRF 300-series timing modules will coexist with and eventually replace the legacy VME timing modules. This talk introduces the plan and current status of timing system upgrade.
