RFQ Vacuum System Manpower Usage

LLNL

10 months to collect requirements and do project engineering
7 months to implement the vacuum system
1 month to install and test

LANL

.25 month to work with LLNL for planning (3 meetings)
2.5 months to develop Modbus driver and adapt the GPIB and IP drivers.
1 month to develop screens (more extensive set - including interlock displays)
1 month to develop the database
.5 months to test and integrate (only testing connection to the PLC)

Notes

New interlock to HPRF required within 15 msec - RFQ PLC could do 40 msec at the current load so this interlock was done in an IOC.
Strain gauge channels were added to the EPICS IOC directly.
Drivers were re-used for HEBT vacuum, injector and injector vacuum.
