Major system, intimately involved in all aspects of running the LHC with beam. Integral part of the beam based control system, totally essential for the exploitation and protection of the LHC. Should have a defining role in the choice of any control system architecture.
Functional specifications - check out the specification board - doesn't in general specify high level use of measurements
Two classes of instrumentation: global & local
The global systems e.g. orbit and beam loss will provide the main control challenges: BLM BPM
Local systems such as tune & chromaticity will be involved in RT feedback
