The Hall Probe Measurement System


Abstract

Insertion devices for the Advanced Photon Source (APS) storage ring are being tuned before installation at the APS Magnetic Measurement Facility. It is important that the insertion devices are properly tuned to ensure the performance of the storage ring.

The recent upgrade of the Hall probe measurement system at the Magnetic Measurement Facility is reported. The upgrade includes replacement of obsolete hardware and step motors by modern components and servomotors integrated with an encoder, servoamplifier and intelligent controller. Control software for the upgraded system was developed with Visual Basic and integrated with a program for analysis of magnetic data for insertion devices. The upgrade resulted in higher accuracy of the magnetic measurements due to significant reduction of electrical noise.
