  The Diamond booster and storage ring are equipped with Libera Electron Beam Position Processors with turn-by-turn capabilities. We describe here the turn-by-turn data acquisition system and the software used for post-processing the beam data. The signals from the Libera boxes are acquired and controlled with EPICS and then transferred to the MATLAB environment via the MATLAB Channel Access. Here they are post-processed using MATLAB capabilities and dedicated software linked to MATLAB. Examples of data acquired and measurements performed during Diamond booster and storage ring commissioning are reported.  
TUPCH045 First Use of Current and Charge Measurement Systems in the Commissioning of Diamond 1106

  This paper will discuss the results obtained from the charge and current measurement systems installed in Diamond during the commissioning stage of operation. The charge measurements are gathered from integrating current transformers and Faraday cups, while the current is measured using a DC current transformer in each ring. The measured beam parameters will be investigated, as well as how well the devices performed against expectations.  
TUPCH046 Performance of Global Diagnostics Systems during the Commissioning of Diamond 1109

  This paper summarises data acquired with beam diagnostics systems distributed globally through Diamond's Linac, transfer paths, booster and storage ring. It shows results from the electron beam position monitors using their capabilities to monitor transient events, the booster ramp as well as stored beam. The performance derived from real beam measurements is compared to measurements obtained in the lab using signal and pulse generators. Other systems of widespread use are screens and synchrotron light monitors. Their performance and control system integration based on IEEE1394 camera technology is presented. Finally, first results from the fast and slow beam loss monitoring systems are described.

  Diamond is a new 3rd generation synchrotron light source currently being commissioned in the UK. The control system for Diamond will be a site-wide monitoring and control system for the accelerators, beamlines and conventional facilities. This paper presents the design and implementation of the Diamond control system, which is based on the EPICS control system toolkit. It will present the detailed choice of hardware and software, the solutions realised for interfacing and control of the major technical systems of Diamond, together with progress on installation and commissioning.
