Abstract :
The wire scanners are designed in the SSC linac for measurement of beam emittance at various locations. In order to obtain beam parameters from the scan signal, a data analysis program was developed which considers the problems of noise reduction, machine modeling, parameter fitting and correction. This program is intended as a tool for linac commissioning and also a part of the linac control program. Some of the results from commissioning runs are presented
