Abstract :
A tune meter has been developed and installed for the Fermilab Booster. It is capable of measuring the tunes in two planes over the energy ramping cycle with an accuracy of 0.001 and measuring chromaticities in pseudo real time. For each plane this system uses one stripline pick-up type BPM and one single turn ferrite kicker. Data acquisition, processing and control is implemented in a VMEbus based system as an integrated part of the Fermilab Accelerator Controls Network (ACNET) system. The architecture enables the tune measurement and control to be contained in one intelligent system. Here we will present architecture, software, results
