The Instrumentation team is responsible for developing hardware, gateware, embedded software and control system integration for diagnostics projects, including Beam Position Monitor (BPM), Fast Orbit Feedback (FOFB), High Speed Digitizer (HSD), Beam Current Monitor (BCM), as well as Fast Machine Protection System (FMPS) and Timing. This paper describes the gateware and software approach to these projects, its challenges, tests and integration plans for the novel accumulation and storage rings and transfer lines.
