The APS has the largest installed base of closed-loop photon beam position monitors of any facility in the world, however many portions of the orbit control systems use aging and near-obsolete components. Substantial improvements in beam stability are planned as part of the on-going APS upgrade project. Among the planned improvements is a replacement of the present real-time feedback system using modern technology to increase the sample rate from 1.5 kHz to near 20 kHz. Because of this, new data acquisition options are being explored to support existing and new types of x-ray beam position monitors. Performance data collected from existing hardware, the APS-designed BSP-100 module, and two commercial solutions will be compared and contrasted.
