Abstract The controls and timing implementation of a mechanical synchrotron light beam chopper device for time resolved experiments at the EMBL Hamburg will be described. The motivation to build a synchrotron beam chopper is on one hand to reduction of radiation on the experimental sample. As result the biological sample survives longer inside the beam. And second the possibility to synchronize the data acquisition with the timed Synchrotron beam. Technically the chopper run stability and the experimental synchronization with the experimental control and the detectors is decisive for implementation. The presented Timing / synchronization system solution is based on EtherCAT electronic. Servers and Clients are integrated into the TINE control system with LabView. The implementation of the motion stability for the Chopper drive and the tuning of motion will be presented within this article as well.
