The High Energy Photon Source (HEPS) is a 6 GeV diffraction-limited storage ring based
light source, which is under construction in Beijing, China. The HEPS accelerator consists of a
Linac, a booster, a storage ring and three transfer lines. Installation and high-power
conditioning of the Linac has been completed. For beam commissioning and measurements of the HEPS
Linac, it is necessary to develop high level applications (HLAs). The development of the Linac
HLAs, based on the framework named Python accelerator physics application set(Pyapas), has been
completed. All the applications are physics quantity based, including measurement applications,
control applications and monitoring applications. All the applications have been tested and
verified on virtual accelerator. The results show the validity of the algorithm and indicate that
the developed applications could meet the requirements of Linac commissioning. All the
applications have been deployed to the actual machine environment and communication and control
test with hardware system have been completed.
