A set of six multi-wire profile monitors (MWPMs) has been installed in the injection line and the successive H0 dump line of the RCS (Rapid-Cycling Synchrotron), and contributed to the initial RCS commissioning for establishing an optimum injection orbit. The Au coated W wires (0.1 mm dia.) for the H- beam detection are fixed to a ceramic wind frame for two directions (horizontal and vertical with 17.7 o tilt, typically 51 wires with 2.9 mm or 9.5 mm distance), and the frame can be scanned for horizontal or vertical direction by using a stepping-motor driven actuator. A combination of the 17.7 o tilt wires and the precise scan function provides two step measurements, i.e. a rough profile is obtained only at one shot, and a detailed profile is measured for typically 101 shots (10 mm scan at 0.1 mm interval) thereafter. The beam induced charge signals are amplified by the instrumentation pre-amps located in a basement sub-tunnel at distances of 30-40 m from the frame through the shielded twisted pair cables. The signals are further transferred to the sample, hold and multiplex circuits at the ground floor. The digitized profile data are processed to the Gaussian fitting.
