Data acquisition and characterization software for radio-frequency (rf) systems

In accelerator physics, radio-frequency (rf) systems play a pivotal role in particle beam acceleration and diagnostics. This work presents a graphical interface designed with Python for interaction with rf instruments, enabling efficient data acquisition, processing, and visualization. Leveraging advanced software tools, the system enables efficient management and analysis of rf data. This capability is crucial for optimizing experimentation and streamlining data flow. The modular architecture is implemented on various systems and is demonstrated with the current 200kW Solid State Amplifier (SSA) test setup at the Advanced Photon Source.
