Elettra Booster is part of the Elettra injection system.
Elettra was originally equipped with an in-house developed BPM system.
After a software and communication update, the old BPM system was reused to control the orbit of the booster machine.
After about ten years, one of the acquisition electronics failed and replacement boards where no longer available.
We replaced the functionality...
Recently, Instrumentation Technologies has developed a remote crossbar switch front-end for the Brilliance+ system, allowing their classic Libera switch compensation to also mitigate cable effects. In this talk, we present results from a comparison between the in-house pilot-tone system and the new Brilliance+ remote switching, from both lab testing and real storage ring measurements. We also...
Beam position monitors (BPMs) are fundamental diagnostic tools for lightsources: thanks to their data readout, machine orbit can be stabilised and corrected by control systems. New generation machines need better performances on these diagnostic devices due to increased demands, such as smaller photon beam size and long-term stability. This contribution will focus on the development of the...
In the scope of SOLEIL II (the low emittance upgrade project of SOLEIL), the Libera Brilliance+ electronics is a candidate for the renewal of the BPM electronics.
A new low latency data stream has been implemented by Instrumentation Technologies to cope with SOLEIL II Fast Orbit Feedback bandwidth specifications. In addition, the user has now the possibility to adjust (and increase) the...
