The parameters of the hardware components of the AMS setup at the FN Tandem Accelerator are controlled by the in-house developed control software (phoenix software). In a first test phase AMS measurements at the FN Accelerator were performed manually using a standard amperemeter and the rare isotope data were processed by the commercial analog MPA3-system from FAST ComTec. In this contribution, we describe the concept and realization of an automated AMS-measurement. The timing for the sequential isotope injection is handled by an Arduino micro-controller which provides logical signals used to control the bouncer unit and as trigger for the acquisition. The detection signals are processed via a new in-house programmed digital DAQ-system based on CAEN digitizers. The phoenix software and the data acquisition are coupled over an Ethernet interface. Therefore the complete AMS data analysis is provided by the phoenix software.
