TL;DR: A computer system has been developed at SLAC in the beam switchyard for on-line beam transport control and an important feature of the system is the operator oriented language which is provided for operator/computer interaction.

TL;DR: The paper is concerned with the software aspects of this project, which is consolidating its two control rooms by utilizing existing control computers in each, connected by a communications link.

TL;DR: The new computer control system software for SPEAR is presented as a transfer from the PEP system, where features of the target ring such as symmetries, magnet groupings, etc., are all contained in a design file which is read by both people and computer.

TL;DR: A microprocessor controller is being developed to perform automatic phasing of the SLAC accelerator and the components of the system, the control algorithm, microprocessor hardware and software design and development, and interaction with SLAC's computer control system.
