• Eliminate the risk of machine damage by online optics evaluation
• Speed up machine development and commissioning by providing an up-to-date optics snapshot at every time

• Create a framework for online machine analysis
• madx decks and scripts repository (improved camif + some metainfo)
• madx execution and repository available via a user interface similar to that of the control software
• Extensible functionality
• Develop fast and reliable methods for optics evaluation and measurement
• Develop and deploy the software tools in the control centre

• Optics - magnet strengthes and layout
• Misalignments
• Multipole errors
• Aperture model

• Evaluate and plot everything available in MADX
• Simulate appropriate readouts from the machine
• Display (aperture + beam envelope, optical function plots etc.)
• Manage the repository
• Retrieve machine optics
• Evaluate the 'credibility' of itself

• Reliable communication with the machine
• Effective optics measurements
• Uncertainties
• Usability

Model updating

Modeling

User Interfaces

• Repository browser/editor with 'Update machine model', 'Run Madx' tools
• Aperture + beam envelope/orbit viewer (zoomable, bottleneck highlighting etc.)
• For expert users - tunable model updating interface
• For routine OP - integrated interface with trims

Software requirements

• response times - < 5 min? for model updating, < 5? min for modeling tasks
• Availability - technet for modeling/updating, repository browsable from everywhere
• Functionality control depending on user role
