Multipurpose Software for Acquisition and Processing of Optical Signals from Beam Profile Monitors at the INR Linac

During the past few years, a beam-induced fluorescence monitor and several scintillation screens were implemented at the Institute of Nuclear Research, Russian Academy of Sciences, linear accelerator (linac) to solve new beam diagnostics tasks. Multipurpose software for acquisition and processing of the beam images produced by these monitors and the beam cross-section monitor was developed at the INR. The software kernel for industrial cameras control and the image acquisition and calibration is described in this paper. The features of software, which were developed for different beam monitors and advantages of their use, are discussed. Various experimental data from different beam profile monitors obtained with this software are presented.
