  The first prototype of a new corrector package for the Fermilab Booster Synchrotron is presently in production. This water-cooled package includes normal and skew dipole, quadrupole and sextupole magnets to control orbit, tune and chromaticity of the beam over the full range of Booster energies (400 MeV-8 GeV). These correctors must make rapid excursions from the 15 Hz excitation cycle of the main synchrotron magnets, in some cases even switching polarity in approximately 1 ms at transition crossing. To measure the dynamic changes in the field during operation, a new method based on a relatively slow rotating coil system is proposed. The method pieces together the measured flux from successive current cycles to reconstruct the field harmonics. This paper describes the method and presents initial field quality measurements from the corrector prototype.
