  High availability and stability of the beam are important issues for the synchrotron light source. Analyzing of the post-mortem data is one of the most important approaches to reflect the machine error and identify the reason of beam trip. The post-mortem system has been developed at Taiwan Light Source (TLS) in 2008. This diagnostic data can provide useful information for troubleshooting and improve the beam reliability. The various diagnostic signals are read from hardware buffer and written to the file system by the post-mortem event trigger, which is generated by the signals of the beam trip detector, the superconducting RF system interlock and the superconducting insertion device interlock. In this report a processing is running to check whether a new trip event, promptly find out the unusual signals, and generate an analyzing result message. The detail will be discussed and summarized.

In order to fully characterize the experimentally measured beam in any accelerator facility, both diagnostics measurements and operating parameters need to be stored and correlated. Generating thus, a substantial amount of data. To address this problem in the ESS-Bilbao Ion Source Test Stand (ITUR), we have developed a software toolkit. This software stores Pepperpot, Faraday-Cup, Retarding Potential Analyzer, ACCT and DCCT measurements in a relational database associated with the operating parameter values at the time of measurement. Furthermore, the toolkit stores in the same database the beam transverse dynamics parameters processed from the pepperpot device. This allows to connect easily the beam physics with the accelerator running parameters. MySQL has been used as database backend and Matlab as programming language.
