Measurements/Beam Instrumentation

• Synchronised measurement acquisition as part of scans, feedback, or at given point in the cycle. Slow & BST timing triggered acquisition. Integration in measurement procedures - scans and stuff
• Concentration. Have to pull together distributed measurements into logical whole (e.g. orbit) and re-publish result. [Virtual device perhaps, to be done in the business layer]
• Feed logging system
• Persist measurements. Archiving, references etc. Access for post-mortem, post-run analysis, web access etc. Standard mechanism required
• Feed fixed displays
• Configure: bunch, beam,
• Adjust instrument settings - gains, thresholds, slit sizes, in/out, etc. [all changes recorded]
• Subscribe: variable rates
• Systematic PM type buffering in ramp?
• Video signals?
• Analyse and/or process

Measure (& correct if necessary):

• Beam Position Monitors: Orbit and trajectory - many modes (first turn, closed orbit, transverse injection oscillations, 1000 turns etc. see Orbit)
• Tune: Q-meter, various modes,
• Chromaticity - via change RF frequency
• Collective effects
• Dynamic aperture - control of the kickers
• Energy
• RF feedback response (longitudinal and transverse)
• Beam Loss Monitors
• Beam Current Transformer (IBMS)
• Beam Synchronous Timing
• Beam Profiles measurement
• Screens: acquisition, display, control -in/out etc. interlocks with respect to beam condition etc.
• Longitudinal distribution, population of abort gap.
• Transverse dampers: want 40 mega-samples over X turns
• Beta beating

For these: hardware, front-ends, gateways, networks, data acquisition, fast timing, system specific applications
